Chapter 334: Giant Beast
Above the Tianmen Patrol Station, the sky seemed to be burning, and everywhere in sight were fire clouds rolling, and huge black shadows were shuttling between them.
Countless large transports sailed high in the sky, and the plasma flames from the engines turned the clouds orange-red, setting almost the entire sky on fire.
"Rumble-" After the transport ship arrived at the battlefield, a huge black shadow peeled off from the cabin, and the high-speed fall violently rubbed against the air, bursting out with dazzling scorching light, like falling fire meteors.
The number of black shadows dropped from the air continued to increase, nearly a hundred, and they broke through the clouds in the scorching light, and the entire sky was full of flashes of fire meteors.
"Boom-" With the roar of the reverse deceleration engine, the first black giant shadow landed outside the Tianmen Patrol Station and smashed straight into the center of the dense sea of fierce beasts.
The majestic air flow swept over all the fierce beasts within a radius of 100 meters, and the liquid fire formed by the burning of the insulated coating splashed everywhere, and many fierce beasts that were not in a hurry to dodge were affected, and their bodies were burned to the ground.
This is a "Colossus-class" Titan Mecha, 12 meters tall, its body design is not a retro anthropomorphic form, but has spider-like slender eight legs, and the shell made of rare alloy constantly refracts the cold light, standing firmly in the center of the battlefield.
The Colossus-class Titan is one of the most advanced fully automatic drone mechs in the world today, with limbs designed with a bionic structure that can move quickly in a variety of complex terrains, even on the most rugged ground.
Armed with a variety of heavy weapons, from high-energy laser cannons to precision-guided missile launchers, each of which can wreak havoc on the battlefield, it is a killing machine developed to deal with high-intensity warfare.
Soon, the weapon system of this Colossus-class Titan mecha was activated, and the head fire control scanner locked the surrounding beasts one after another, and then burst into a dazzling red light.
"Hum-" The high-energy laser cannon located on the top of the body was the first to activate, and a laser beam of up to 100 meters long erupted in a scorching light, sweeping the battlefield wantonly, and all the fierce beasts it came into contact with instantly turned into ashes, leaving only the ground with dark red scorching lava.
Immediately afterwards, a neat matrix of launch ports appeared on the surface of the Titan body, multiple rocket launches began, and rounds of miniature missiles poured out like a torrential rain, explosions came and went, firelight bloomed in the fierce beasts, and flesh fragments and debris formed by the explosion flew everywhere.
The beasts roared and rushed towards the Titan mech, trying to climb its body, and the surging fire of the melodious anti-aircraft guns immediately rained bullets out, forming a death barrier.
"Da Da-" Where the bullets passed, a mist of blood rose into the sky, and all the fierce beasts that tried to get close were beaten to pieces, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain and a river of blood.
And that's just the power of a Titan mech.
Above the sky, nearly 100 Titan mechs have landed one after another, and a large number of heavy firepower mechanized troops have been airdropped, and military drones are even more difficult to count, soaring over the battlefield.
These were all heavy ordnance urgently requisitioned from Crescent City, and were placed at the Tianmen Patrol Station to stop the beasts.
At the same time, the troops of the Composite Company that had been transferred from the vicinity were also arriving one after another, and the Razor Rapid Reaction Force alone dispatched three full brigades, and the remaining mortal soldiers in all parts added up to tens of thousands.
Heavily armed soldiers landed in groups, cooperating with mechanized troops to build defensive lines on the battlefield, and from a distance, human war machines were everywhere.
The company has invested a lot of manpower and heavy ordnance, but the strength of the beast is just as amazing.
A Titan mech was on a mission of annihilation when it suddenly encountered a giant beast that was comparable in size to a mountain.
For a fierce beast of this level, the bullets of the close-in defense cannon hit its biological shell and were immediately bounced off, and the miniature missiles could only leave scorch marks, and even high-energy laser cannons could not cause fatal damage in a short period of time.
The giant beast withstood the overwhelming firepower and crushed the Titan mecha like a landslide.
"Boom !!" At the moment when the two sides collided, the Titan mecha failed to withstand the behemoth, and the body was crushed to the ground and cracked inch by inch.
The engine was overloaded and billowing black smoke came out, and the Titan tried to regain its fighting stance, but in the face of the larger giant beast, its mechanical strength was insufficient, and the mech's body was quickly crushed and completely scrapped.
"Roar-" The giant beast destroyed a Titan mech, let out a deafening roar, and swung its giant horned blade to wreak havoc on the rear position.
Dozens of company soldiers were crushed by hornblades before they could escape, including three razor warriors, whose bodies were shattered in the force and their flesh was spilled all over the ground.
Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers had no choice but to retreat and return fire at the same time, but apparently in vain.
Just as the defensive line was breached, a dragon-like roar was heard from the rear of the line.
The captain of a razor brigade has struck, this is a "super-limit high-level" dragon flame blood code carrier, in order to resist the giant beast, he brazenly entered a dangerous dragon state, and the dragon wings flowing with lava opened in the air.
The captain flapped his wings and set off a blazing wind, and the dragon flame gathered in his throat, and the majestic power surged out in an instant, slamming into the super-large beast.
"Boom !!" The moment Long Yan hit, the surface of the giant fierce beast exploded with incalculable flame fragments, and the pillar of fire rose into the sky, and the surrounding air density was affected by the high temperature, and began to twist wantonly.
In the midst of a terrible wail, the domineering body that was enough to crush the Titan Mecha was melted by the dragon flames, leaving only a pile of huge charred corpses dancing with flames.
The war went on without stopping, the artillery fire continued day and night, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke permeated the entire battlefield, and the huge muffled sound that continued to sound was like a heavy hammer smashing into the heart.
The high-intensity offensive and defensive battle lasted for two days and two nights, and with the increasing number of follow-up reinforcements from the joint company, the defense line of the Tianmen patrol station became more and more stable.
The number of fierce beasts has also gradually become sparse from the beginning like a tidal wave.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the last beast that rushed to the Tianmen patrol station was killed, and there was no living beast to be seen on the battlefield.
As far as the eye can see, there are mountains of dead corpses everywhere inside and outside the Tianmen Patrol Station, most of them are fierce beasts, and of course, there is no shortage of sacrificial company soldiers.
The surviving soldiers gradually recovered from the fighting, and they watched the silence of the battlefield pause for a moment, and then erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Win! Long live the company!! ”
"Go back home, evil beasts, you also want to challenge humans?!"
"After this battle, I will go back to my hometown and get married."
"Climb and climb, don't put that flag down!"
As the soldiers cheered and celebrated, the Razor Captain with the Dragon's Flame Blood Code flapped its wings and was overlooking the entire battlefield.
Suddenly, his expression became strange: "Something is wrong"
In the communicator, the voice of his subordinates came: "Captain, what's wrong?" ”
The captain stared at the mountains of fierce beast corpses on the battlefield, as if confirming something, and said in a deep voice: "The number of corpses is wrong, the number of fierce beast corpses here is far less than the previous satellite photos. ”
The subordinates suddenly became nervous: "Are you saying that the fierce beast has not been wiped out yet, and a second wave of offensive may be launched?" I immediately asked the reconnaissance team to expand the search area! ”
The order was quickly issued to the reconnaissance unit, and the air early warning reconnaissance plane, military satellite, and even the Apocalypse Star were put into use, using the Tianmen patrol station as the base point, searching for traces of fierce beasts in a large area in the direction of the borderland.
The captain of the group descended from the air to the rear position, walked into the mobile radar vehicle belonging to the reconnaissance unit, and asked: "How is the situation?" ”
The scout looked at the various images on the screen, shook his head and said, "We searched several times along the mountains around the Tianmen Patrol Station, but we didn't find any traces of the beast. ”
"And judging from the steep terrain nearby, it is impossible for land-based beasts to make a detour and climb over, and the airspace is also under full martial law by us, and all the flying beasts that have broken in have been killed."
"So. Regardless of where the beasts that didn't participate in the attack on the Heavenly Gate go, we should be safe. Yes, so far. ”
The captain pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Change the detection method and reverse track the traces of the beast's activities. ”
The scout said cautiously: "Captain, forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the plunge, the traces of the beast's activities will gradually disappear with the change of weather, especially since it has just rained heavily this morning, and it is very difficult to track it backwards, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the workload will be astronomical." ”
The captain said without hesitation: "I can apply to the headquarters for lack of manpower and equipment." I had to know where the beasts had gone, whether they had dispersed on their own or gone around somewhere else, and what was the source of the beasts' movements. ”
At this point, the investigator did not dare to say any more, and led the rest of the investigation department to reassign tasks.
The high-frequency investigation lasted for a full day and night, and as the investigator said before, the traces of the beast's activities disappeared due to the weather, and the only way to search was a carpet search.
Of course, this search method will not miss anything, but the larger the scope of the spread, the difficulty and workload of the search will also increase exponentially.
Just when the reconnaissance team was at a loss, a message came back that a team had recaptured traces of the beast's activity.
Following the trail to trace it backwards, everyone suddenly found that there were more and more traces of the beast's activities, and it seemed to be gathering somewhere.
As they continued to follow more and more clues, and finally located the area where the fierce beasts gathered, everyone was shocked.
In the vast wasteland, there is an extremely unique super-large beast, its size is unimaginably large, the main trunk of its body is buried in the depths of the layer, only a part of it is exposed, but only this small part is already larger than most super-large beasts.
Its head was covered with rough bumps and irregular troughs of flesh, and its mouth was split in four lobes, forming a huge opening nearly 100 meters in diameter, and the edges were covered with sharp teeth that shimmered coldly in the sun.
Anyone who can work in the reconnaissance force has a lot of information stored in their minds, and they all recognize this super-large beast at this time.
This is the "Tunnel Worm", a fierce beast that usually lives underground, with extremely hard jagged teeth in its mouth, and can easily crush rocks with the high-speed shaking of its jaw muscles.
After swallowing the rock, the tunnel worm can digest it and secrete a special mucus on the surface of the body, which will solidify into high-strength crystals in a short time after touching the stone wall, so as to maintain the hollow rock layer from collapsing, and then form a "tunnel", which is the origin of its name.
The tunnelworm's ability to burrow into the ground is extremely amazing, and the speed of underground passage can reach up to 100 kilometers per hour, comparable to a car driving on the highway, and can often launch surprise attacks.
Moreover, its activity area is often very deep, and the deepest can reach more than 1,000 meters underground, far exceeding the range that ground-penetrating missiles can hit, which is a headache.
However, this beast also has a great weakness, that is, its large body also brings a huge consumption of nutrients.
In general, pit worms burrow back into the ground very quickly after hunting and fall into dormancy for a long period of time, leaving their bodies in a state of minimal consumption.
This dormancy can last for months or even a year, and it will not restart hunting surface creatures until the nutrients in their bodies are exhausted.
Due to the high intensity of digging in the ground, which can greatly deplete nutrients, tunnel worms tend to move only near their dormant sites, rarely making long-distance movements, let alone crossing border patrol stations.
The last recorded occurrence of pit worms in human territory dates back to a hundred years ago.
The appearance of the pit worm itself is not surprising, but the scene at this time is amazing.
I saw countless fierce beasts surging from all directions, gathering towards the tunnel insects, and throwing themselves into the huge mouthparts.
The pit worms continue to swallow these ferocious beasts that have volunteered to become food, eating them into their stomachs, as if they are having a hellish feast.
No one knows why the beast would commit such a suicidal anomaly, but the reason doesn't matter.
Importantly, these beasts are digested by the pit worm's stomach organs, which can easily dissolve rocks, and turn them into nutrients.
And so many fierce beasts are absorbed as nutrients, which can fully support the tunnel insects to carry out ultra-long-distance activities of hundreds of kilometers.
This means that there will be a "tunnel" hundreds of kilometers long underground!
If the Tunnel Worm only roams indiscriminately in the Borderlands, but once it targets the human world, this hundreds of kilometers long tunnel will directly penetrate all ground defenses and reach the hinterland of the human territorial area!
Normally, this is not possible.
No ferocious beast will take the initiative to devote itself to the pit insects to turn into nutrients, and the pit insects will not easily leave their territory and carry out meaningless ultra-long-distance activities.
However, at this moment, this impossible scene is playing out like a nightmare.
As the pit worms swallowed and digested the last of the beasts, its body reached a state of saturation of nutrients, and its huge exposed body burst into the ground, leaving only a huge deep pit.
At the same time, the tidal wave of fierce beasts poured into the tunnels carved out by the tunnel worms, and began to move underground after it.
As the scouts watched the scene in silence, more information came back, and their voices trembled with fear:
"Ground penetrating radar shows that the source of the underground vibration is moving in a straight line to the southwest! There seems to be something out there that attracts them! ”
"The source of the shock is approaching the defensive outpost, but there is no sign of rising! Not for us! ”
"Damn! The source of the vibration has already crossed the Tianmen Patrol Station and headed straight inland! ”
"Oh my God. There are so many beasts following the pit worms, if they show up in a big city, it's okay"
"The situation is out of control! Inform the headquarters of the situation immediately, quickly! Fast!!! (End of chapter)
