Chapter Seventy-Four: Thermal Weapons
Night falls.
The mountains and forests outside the shelter only had the sporadic howl of beasts, which was in sharp contrast to the howls of insects and beasts a few days ago, and strengthened the army's idea of attacking the beasts tonight.
"Chief Chung, this is the long knife you wanted, see how it goes. An orderly handed the long knife that had just been forged from the weaponsmithing to Chief Chung.
After taking the long knife, Zhong Daochang waved it a few times, and a knife sound sounded, which made the eyes of the orderly soldiers on the side light up.
"Is there anything I can chop, I want to try the sharpness of this knife. Chief Zhong Dao asked politely to the orderly.
"Oh, yes, what do you need, Captain Chung? We have a stake here, do you think it's okay?" The attitude of the orderly was surprisingly respectful, I don't know if it was because of the chief's attitude towards Captain Chung, or the previous sound of the sword.
"The stake will be fine, I'll give it a try. "Zhong Dao Chang didn't ask too much, but for tonight's crisis, he still had to make sure that the weapon in his hand was worthy of his trust.
"Okay, you come with me. The orderly soldier didn't have any extra nonsense, and directly took Captain Zhong Dao to the training place of the troops.
Chief Zhong Dao followed the orderlies to the training ground of the soldiers, looked at the rows of large wooden stakes that needed to be hugged by two people, and then looked at the long knife in his hand, a little embarrassed.
"This stake is so thick...... I don't think I can cut it, there are no thinner stakes. "Zhong Daochang is a little difficult to start, after all, the stake is too big, if this knife goes down and cuts the knife out of the gap, it will be too late to change the knife now.
"It's okay, Chief Zhong Dao, at the forging table earlier, those people tried the knife, the materials used in this knife are all the latest materials, I heard that they also contain some elements of those beast minions hardened, but I don't understand. The orderly scratched his head, smiled at Zhong Daochang, and said with some confidence.
"Oh?" the words made Zhong Daochang take an interest in the knife in his hand.
Raise the long knife in your hand and slash it hard at the big stake.
The knife sank deep into the stake, like a chainsaw cutting horizontally into the stake, which made Chung Dao Cho a little surprised and lost his mind.
"This thing is not scientific, it takes a long time to see a chainsaw, and this knife can cut almost a third of it in one chop? This tree only needs to be cut three times?" Zhong Daochang complained, this is a little too amazing, and even makes Zhong Daochang a little suspicious that this knife is alien technology.
"Chief Zhong Dao, this knife was conveyed to the forging table after I received the chief's order, and watching them forge it, it must be produced in the whole country. The orderly said proudly.
Hearing the orderly's words, Zhong Daochang relieved himself from the shock, stepped on the stake, and pulled the broadsword out of the stake with all his might.
The long metal knife was sharp in the reflection of the light, and the long knife pulled out of the stake did not have the slightest notch in the blade, and it was still very complete and sharp.
Some of the favorites touched the blade, and Zhong Daochang looked up at the orderly and said, "It's okay, where should I be on standby now." ”
"The chief instructed that when you are ready, go to the command room of the shelter and rest and wait for the herd to appear. The orderly said earnestly.
"Zhong Dao Chief, you have now received the weapon, then my mission is complete, Zhong Dao Chief, please go to the command room, I will report back to the chief. After the orderly finished speaking, he stood up straight and saluted Zhong Daochang seriously.
"Good luck with your victory. ”
Zhong Daochang looked at the serious face of the orderly, put away the peacefulness on his face, and returned a military salute solemnly, although it was not standard.
"Lend you good words. ”
The moonlight shone in the dark mountain forest, absorbed by the trees, and the respiration made the trees begin to sway a little as if they had life, but the night was too deep and the wind was ...... Humble.
The roar of an explosion pierced the relative silence of the night, and for a moment, the walls of the shelter, which were only sporadic light, were all lit up, and the searchlights were aimed beyond the walls.
One by one, the beasts were illuminated by the searchlight, and the eyes of the beasts glowed green under the light.
The horn sounded, and all the members of the shelter began to prepare for battle.
In the command room, Zhong Daochang, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his slightly narrowed eyes, and a cold light lit up from under his eyes.
Slowly getting up, Zhong Daochang looked at the bright lights outside the command room, and said to himself, "It's time to start." ”
Landmines, a weapon of mass destruction, have reappeared on the battlefield, and of course it is no longer a battle between people, but a battle between humans and beasts.
The use of landmines against wild beasts does not violate the Ottawa Convention, and of course, China has not joined it.
What Wudang Shelter didn't know was that this scene also appeared on the military base of the previous world overlord, but that military base was destroyed by a demon beast Nearly half of the defenses, and now, it depends on whether the shelter can withstand the attack of the beast herd.
Of course, the most important thing is whether Zhong Daochang can resist that powerful "beast".
"Snipers all snipe for me, don't waste ammunition for Lao Tzu, a bullet and a brute, do you hear it!" On the city wall, a commander commanded loudly with a loudspeaker, after all, the radio was lost, this way is the most direct and effective, offensive and defensive warfare is a simple white-knuckle battle, simple and straightforward.
"Boom!boom!boom!" As soon as he finished speaking, the guns rang out, and the beasts that were testing forward were hit by sniper bullets, fell to the crowd, and then were eaten or trampled to pieces.
The herd should have an instinctive fear of fire and loud noises, but it seemed to be driven by something, and the herd overcame their fear, moving forward step by step, using their lives to find a way for the herd behind them.
However, the area-of-effect damage of the mine is a very effective weapon for a dense herd, but for the beasts that have been strengthened to a certain extent, the impact and heat of the explosion can only affect the few beasts closest to the explosion range, and the shrapnel or something will also be resisted by the tough skins and muscles that the beasts are now strengthening, and the effect is not ideal.
"Mortar ready! Release!" The herd quickly approached the shelter, and for the extremely lethal human mines, it now proves the strength of the beast's evolution, and also proves that thermal weapons have no future in this era.
The lethality of the shells was ineffective against mines, and the number of kills against the herd was not even as high as that of the snipers, so much so that the faces of the military leaders who were holding binoculars were a little ugly.
"Is it true that thermal weapons are not working?" the chief looked at the fire outside, a little stunned, after all, this was once his faith and life.
No one can give an answer, even if everything is happening in front of you.
The battle continued, and the beasts seemed to be aroused by the smell of blood and the smell of roasted meat, and became fierce and fearless of death.
