Section 217 Out of Control
Zhang Shengfei is not unfamiliar with this scene.
He watched it in the Lujiang battle video forwarded by the military headquarters. The scene was magnificent and majestic, and the momentum was amazing. He felt a sense of despair coming to face the earthquake and mudslides, and even more nervous about holding his heart tightly and being able to breathe.
Pre-set bombs were constantly detonated, and the "rumbling" sound was covered by the dull roar of the collapse of the building. Countless cement boards flew through the air, dust fog mixed with bricks and stone fragments blocked their sight, swallowing up a large number of mutated creatures that could not be avoided.
However, among the dense rainy pieces, an astonishing number of humanoid and blood corpses still emerged. Their movements were light and weird, without any harm, and were completely dominated by the strong fear of natural enemies deep in their brains, and they rushed towards the road regardless of everything.
Zhang Shengfei's face suddenly wrinkled, as if he had just sucked the extremely sour lemon.
“Too many, too many…”
He was silently chanting nervously in his heart, still maintaining a cold and calm appearance.
The tactics still follow the pattern of the Battle of Lujiang. However, the mutated creatures protruding from the collapse trap of the building far exceed the videos sent by the military. They were filled with bricks and stones, but more monsters continued to appear from the dust, and the dense frenzy was out of sight. Even in the command post, which was far away from the battlefield, you could still feel the strong vibration from the ground.
The irritability that has continued to this day has become fear that cannot be explained in words, firmly occupying Zhang Shengfei's brain.
They are still rushing.
Countless mutant creatures quickly entered the reserved highway master Yudao, gathering into three tides mixed with gray and red, and rushed towards the human positions outside the city under the cover of dust. Their numbers are so large that the pollution caused by trampling never dissipates over the city for a long time. A few kilometers away, people can already smell the stench of garbage, excrement, pungent dust and various unknown smells that stimulate the nasal cavity.
"Detonate————”
The first five hundred meters long street was quickly filled. With the order of the regional commander, the preset directional lightning exploded towards the street. The flying metal fragments roared into the mutant organism, penetrated the skin, cut off the muscles, and flew in the air with blood and feces until the power was exhausted. They were firmly fixed on the walls, ground, or a monster, and then they fulfilled their mission and became a bystander of the fierce war.
The mutant creatures did not seem to know the concept of "death". In an instant, they had filled the 500-meter gap just woven by the explosion trap and rushed towards the next section of the street. Countless legs and feet were trampled on the corpse, and the monsters who were seriously injured and dying were quickly trampled into flesh paste. At this time, it was impossible to tell what is the same type? What is fear? There was only one voice in their minds - to leave here far away and leave those natural enemies that they could never fight against.
The second paragraph, the third paragraph, the fourth paragraph...
Explosions kept coming, and air waves and metal fragments were reaping life unscrupulously. Cement fragments and bricks were covered with thick flesh and blood of mutant creatures. They walked among the ruins of steel bars without pausing for a second, as if a group of machines that were fearless and never knew about fatigue.
Looking at the information sent back by the helicopter on the screen, Zhang Shengfei's face gradually turned pale. He pursed his lips tightly, and although his hands were behind his back, his nails were pinching into the flesh. His wrinkles narrowed his eyes and became more and more dense, and fear and regret flashed deep in his pupils.
As the commander of the group army, Zhang Shengfei's ability to perceive combat progress is keener than that of ordinary officers.
There is a basic premise for the Hefei Battle to be successful. That is, there must be no more mutant creatures affected by pheromones, and they must be limited to about 30% of the total number in the city. Calculated based on the data transmitted back by satellite remote sensing maps, it is about one million.
Su Hao's opposition is not unreasonable. Terrain, as well as road and space capacity, are indeed the key factors that restrict the outcome of the battle.
Six helicopters have been controlling the wind direction, causing the pheromones to float towards the outside of the city. Today is definitely a good day, with no natural wind or cold and moisture flows, and the control of gas drift has been firmly controlled, without any departure from the battle plan.
However, the number of mutated creatures rushing out of the city was far beyond expectations.
From the depths of the dust fog that enveloped the city, dense biological frenzy continued to appear. They were not affected by the fact that pheromones did not drift to their location, but followed the footsteps of the previous impact and continuously replenished the power of this powerful tide.
The helicopter's terrified face appeared on the surveillance screen.
"The situation of the battle is changing in the ground command center. All mutated creatures in the opposite direction are moving towards the ambush. They are so many of them."
Zhang Wen had already frowned, and he strode to the front of the screen, grabbed the telephone, and roared repeatedly: "Why not control the wind direction? That is your task, your task. Immediately increase the wind speed and push the pheromone to spread to the periphery of the city. Be quick———”
“We’ve been doing it as planned”
In the microphone, the helicopter captain's anxious voice came: "The current situation is completely beyond expectations. The population of monsters in the opposite direction that were not affected by pheromones also began to move. Note that it is the opposite direction. There seems to be some kind of contact between them that we don't know, and they can guide each other without the need to drive away the pheromone... Hell... they all started to move, all started to move--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhang Wen stared at the screen angrily and shouted at the microphone: "Control the wind direction, you must control the wind direction---
The images on the screen showed many waves, and the signals became chaotic. The sound of the helicopter came from the phone.
"We...we have been controlling, but it's useless. They've all... started to move. There are so many. Which bastard was the plan made by? You...you don't understand them at all...can't stop them at all. Oh my God. This is simply the end of the world...the command center immediately ordered everyone to retreat...retreat quickly..."
"A bunch of cowards———"
Zhang Wen's forehead was covered with blue veins, and he roared viciously. Due to excessive force, the microphone was pinched into pieces in his hand.
Behind him, a group of onlookers all looked grim, fearful, shocked, nervous and panic.
According to the experience of Lujiang battle, the three preset blasting points on the road are divided into ten sections, ranging from 500 meters to 2,000 meters. Now they have been detonated to the seventh, eighth and seventh stages, but there is no sign of being contained. The blood and flesh that permeates the air stimulate their nerves, and the faint pheromone is still the source of fear. The only thing they can do is to run desperately and rush forward regardless of everything. Any obstacle that dares to block in front of them will be crushed.
Everyone's eyes were all focused on Commander Zhang Shengfei.
He is the person with the highest military rank here and the most staunch supporter of the Battle of Hefei.
Zhang Shengfei felt his muscles become tense, and his face also maintained a cold and almost stiff expression.
No one saw his hands behind him trembling. He was firmly locked on his face by strong self-control, and his fear of being covered with his teeth, which seemed to others just the calmness of the Supreme Commander in the chaos.
"Don't panic———"
Zhang Shengfei tried his best to make his tone sound calm and powerful. He strode to the screen and issued a series of orders in an orderly and quickly.
"All laser generators are aimed at the direction of the road and are ready to launch."
"The electromagnetic gun unit remains preheated and the energy supply must be stable."
"The firing boundaries of various machine guns and joint machine guns remain unchanged. Once those monsters break through the highway, they will be blocked with dense strafing.
With the last stage of the explosion on the three highways, the frenzy of creatures filled with blood and death was finally curbed. The last 1,500 meters away from the city was completely filled with corpses of mutant creatures that were blurred with flesh and blood. Scattered internal organs and minced meat were everywhere, and the broken limbs and broken organs were scattered and hung on the walls and windows on both sides of the street. The air was completely occupied by the smell of gunpowder and blood, and only the wailing sounds from the mouths of countless monsters could be heard in his ears.
The ground was shaking. Tens of thousands of mutant creatures were running. They conveyed information in a unique way among the population, and the spreading pheromones made fear sensed by more monsters. Humanoids and blood corpses of various forms rushed out in great horror, completely giving up their former nests. Instinct told them that natural enemies might come at any time, and no one dared to stay in the city for even a second. They sensed danger, so they fled here at the highest speed they could reach.
More than a million mutant creatures of different sizes rushed out along the road, like a heavy carpet moving rapidly in the dust. They were desperate to exhaust their physical strength and fled between their companions' bodies and flesh. The streets that had just been silent for less than two minutes were filled again, and the streets that were dozens of meters wide were full of monsters running forward. Their numbers were so large that even the sand on the surface of the reinforced concrete fortifications hundreds of meters away were shaken off.
"Stay calm and don't panic. They are just a group of monsters, our enemies-----"
A captain who was in charge of commanding the position hugged the assault rifle tightly and roared around at the maximum volume that could be achieved. He didn't know how much effect his actions could have? But no matter what, he had to do something. Otherwise, the white-faced soldiers would probably throw down their weapons and turn around and escape from the position.
The mutated creatures were pressing over like a mountain.
"shooting----"
The captain's orders were almost at the same time as gunfire. The muzzle of the four-unit multi-tube machine spewed out flames, making extremely violent sounds. There were as many as hundreds of positions, and more than 130 warning towers opened fire at the same time. The dense and hot rain of bullets blocked three roads at the same time. The large-diameter straight-sight gun set behind the position continued to suck flames and fired shells with sharp whistling shells. This improved grenade reduced the amount of explosives filling, but added a special warhead with metal fragments. Once exploded, it could affect the radius of fifty meters.
The mutant creatures rushing in the front were caught off guard and were beaten back on the spot. Their bodies became the obstacles with the most bullets, and the humanoids and blood corpses following closely followed were suddenly stagnant. After a moment, they had already carried huge inertia and impact force, and pushed their companions' bodies high up, threw them aside from directly above, or stepped directly under their feet, facing the bullets that were hit.
"Zibo————”
A thick and dazzling white light emitted from behind the array outside the city, like a terrifying light dragon, instantly disappeared from the distant end of the city.
It is a high-energy laser for combat.
The power of this energy weapon is extremely powerful, and its launch power is far greater than that of the warning device that Su Hao had seen in Xu Renjie's office. The launch point set on the ground rotated fifteen degrees towards the front, forming a fan-shaped area that expanded from near to far. The strong heat energy penetrated the house and halved all obstacles. The entire creature frenzy seemed to be cross-sectioned from the middle by an invisible line, and countless humanoids and blood corpses fell down, waist, legs, shoulders, abdomen... They didn't understand why their bodies suddenly broke? The legs, feet and arms were instantly lost control? Just a dazzling light, they instantly lost their ability to move.
This, why is this?
A huge triangular black shadow slowly appeared in the sky. It was a large early warning aircraft sent by the Air Force. It was responsible for liaison, commanding, monitoring the battlefield and transmitting all changes to the ground command center.
"The shooting of laser generators No. 1 to No. 3 has been completed, and the impact range and light source depth are being counted. The visual results are about 120,000 to 150,000."
The atmosphere in the command post is no longer as dull as before. The onboard computer on the early warning aircraft is calculating various combat data, and there will definitely be a gap between visual inspection and reality. However, in the eyes of people who are eager to win, they have subconsciously regarded the largest number as the actual result.
"Yes, I knew it would be like this. The laser generator is only suitable for defense, only for use in dense and narrow areas. Those monsters are dead, they are not opponents at all, we can win———"
"Appoint the logistics support team to replace the coils and related parts immediately, and the energy supply department quickly inspects all parts to ensure that it enters the second launch status as soon as possible."
"We must strengthen our defense, especially the machine gun position at the forefront. We must never let go of any mutant creatures. Their advantages lie in speed and melee combat. As long as we maintain this fighting rhythm, we can win them."
As orders were issued quickly, the officers in the command post began to become busy. Because the sense of crisis generated by pheromones had long disappeared, and when fear and shock disappeared from the brain, of course, the subsequent steps of the plan must be implemented step by step.
Zhang Shengfei was still standing, staring at the screen with his flickering eyes.
The power of the combat laser generator is indeed surprising, but it is not beyond imagination. In fact, these new weapons that combine human technological power are important factors for Zhang Shengfei to agree to implement the Hefei Battle Plan. He wanted to achieve military achievements, but he was not stupid. Especially in terms of determining the strength of his own combat power, Zhang Shengfei was very self-aware.
He frowned tightly.
The use effect of the laser is not much different from the expected entry and entry. However, in terms of specific time, it was a little earlier than Zhang Shengfei expected.
The best time to launch lasers should be in the middle and late stages of the battle.
The mutated creatures on the screen are still rushing to the defense line. They are swarming near three highways, covered with blood and minced meat, and are covered with bright red. The power of the laser has no effect on them, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of similar people seem to stimulate their desire to run outwards.
Although high-power laser generators have begun mass production and are equipped with troops of various army-level units, their defects and advantages are also obvious - they are huge in size and difficult to transport. Because the coils and transducers are not heat-resistant, accessories must be replaced in time for each shooting. Otherwise, an explosion will occur due to the current blockage. Even the best crew members are responsible for the operation, the launch interval will take at least twenty minutes, and the maximum strafing range cannot exceed a fifteen-degree angle.
The ever-changing situation on the battlefield constantly stimulated Zhang Shengfei's brain. He felt his heart beating violently and his blood flow rate was approaching the limit he could bear. He wanted to find a chair to sit down, but reason told him that it would never work. Before there was a decisive change in the outcome of the battlefield, he must stand firmly here and serve as a benchmark for everyone's confidence.
The helicopter lens captures a high-speed moving shadow.
No, not one, but a group.
Their colors are dim, like dozens of gray airflows, running at high speed between houses and buildings, constantly changing directions, flexibly bypassing various obstacles, and pounced towards the positions outside the city.
"What the hell is that?"
A colonel officer keenly noticed something was wrong, so he quickly grabbed the microphone and ordered the helicopter loudly: "Enhance the camera's follow-up speed, immediately use the computer to analyze the picture, and block them with the machine gun positions in the corresponding direction with crossfire. They must not be allowed to penetrate————"
The operator's fingers flexibly tapped the keyboard. After a few seconds, as the frames of the screen were a cat-shaped humanoid with a head full of fluff, a hip extending from its tail, and sharp teeth and pointed claws appeared on the screen.
In the lower right of the image, the computer continuously calculates the running speed of cat-shaped humanoids based on the lens data. Finally, the words "150-180 kilometers per hour" were displayed.
This is equivalent to a car running wildly on the highway.
This is not the limit of movement of cats in a straight line, but the result of continuous detours, detours and climbing in buildings, alleys, and obstacles.
A pair of eyes gathered on the screen, and people had just revealed a little relaxed and smiling face, and became solemn again.
