Chapter 185 The embarrassment of conventional weapons
"You keep moving forward!"
"Our people are already on their way to support!"
The situation was critical, and there was no time to exchange greetings.
Liu Xingzhong roared in response to the squad leader, and took Hong Gang straight to the rear of the transport convoy.
Violent gunshots continued, and explosions continued.
From time to time, you can still hear the sharp screams of mutant ants.
The vehicle engines roared, and one military vehicle after another speeded past Liu Xingzhong and Hong Gang.
Through the car window, Liu Xingzhong saw many soldiers with frightened faces, and many injured with broken arms and legs, moaning in pain in the car.
Of the seven military trucks in communication, only four are left!
I only saw one main battle tank!
The number of infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers is also inconsistent.
Heavy casualties!
"well!"
Liu Xingzhong lamented that the end of the world is like this, if you want to give something away, you have to pay such a tragic price.
The two of them passed through the transport convoy in an instant and came to the slow-moving fire suppression convoy.
boom!
The main battle tank's gun barrel burst into flames, and the shells shot out of the muzzle and exploded among a group of mutant ants, causing raging metal shrapnel to wreak havoc among the mutant ants.
But the effect is very unsatisfactory.
Except for a few mutated ants that were directly hit, they exploded into a mess on the spot. Those a little further away were just blown away by the air wave of the explosion. The flying shrapnel hit the black carapace, leaving only scratches and a string of sparks flying.
, cannot kill them at all.
The black carapace of the mutant ant is as hard as a special alloy!
Fragmentation shells, limited lethality!
Armor-piercing bullets can be used instead. The mutated ants have small targets, move fast, and their hit rate is almost negligible.
As for the rifles in the hands of the soldiers, apart from harassing the mutated ants, they have no killing effect at all.
Only the infantry fighting vehicle's large-caliber machine gun, using armor-piercing ammunition, can still be somewhat effective.
It was the firepower support of these large-caliber machine guns that prevented the mutant ant swarm from catching up with the convoy for the time being.
This is the embarrassment that modern weapons and equipment often encounter when dealing with mutated creatures in the apocalypse.
Conventional weapons have limited killing effect, and powerful weapons cannot be used!
As for burning the boat and using nuclear weapons, that is simply asking for death.
Not only can it not eliminate all mutant organisms, but it will cause humans to lose the environment they depend on for survival and become extinct before mutant organisms.
The adaptability of mutated organisms to harsh environments is much stronger than that of humans.
Therefore, the major countries that have possessed nuclear weapons from the beginning, even if the central government is almost collapsed, the leaders who control the nuclear weapons code have never thought of using nuclear land-washing tactics.
Standing at the top of human society, they can see much more profoundly than the people at the bottom.
In the sudden end of the world, mankind collapsed.
But it is far from extinction, and it is not yet time to "die together".
In particular, the emergence of human evolvers, people with awakened powers, and gifted people has given all mankind new vitality.
These big guys who master nuclear weapons will not easily die together.
On the contrary, as long as the government still has some strength left, after it recovers, it will spare no effort to organize and rescue survivors scattered everywhere, and concentrate its efforts to establish a large-scale base city.
A community with a shared future for mankind can only be truly realized in the apocalypse.
Liu Xingzhong took Hong Gang and rushed into the rear convoy.
I'm about to look for that Staff Officer Qi.
roar!
A roar came.
A humanoid beast suddenly rushed out of the convoy and crashed directly into the mutant ants with a posture even more ferocious than the beast.
The palms with sharp claws swung and tore fiercely, creating a bloody storm among the mutated ants.
The mutated ant swarm that was about to rush into the rear convoy was defeated in an instant and the army retreated steadily.
In the convoy, taking advantage of the empty space where the mutated ants were defeated, several more warriors in armor, holding nearly two-meter-long sabers in their hands, roared into the battle.
While waving the cold light of the steel knife, he killed several mutated ants that had slipped through the net.
In an instant, a swarm of mutant ants was instead briefly suppressed by this group of soldiers who looked like ancient armored warriors.
Beast transformation ability!
Evolved soldiers!
Liu Xingzhong recognized at a glance that the humanoid beast was actually a person with awakened powers.
Those wearing steel armor are a group of well-protected Evolutionary soldiers.
According to the information provided by the local military region, the person with the awakened beast-like ability was the leader of the transport convoy, Staff Officer Qi.
"Go help!" Liu Xingzhong roared and rushed out without hesitation.
Hong Gang even raised his mutated branch mace high, rushed to a mutated ant, and smashed it down with one blow.
Compared to those armored evolver soldiers, it takes three or four slashes to break through the mutated ant's carapace.
When Hong Gang hit it with a stick, the shell cracked and the flesh rotted, making him whimper!
Seeing this scene, the armored soldiers beside them were all stunned and couldn't believe it. Even the firing of the heavy machine gun on the infantry tank was delayed for a few seconds, and the machine gunner looked incredulous.
"Retreat quickly!"
Ignoring everyone's astonishment, Hong Gang turned around and shouted at the convoy. Then he turned around and swung his mutated branch mace, and several more mutated ants rushed forward, smashing them to pieces.
After stopping the convoy, Hong Gang yelled at him and he came to his senses.
Then he accelerated, ran forward, and began to lose distance from the mutated ant swarm.
Hong Gang killed several more mutated ants in succession, and wiped out all the nearby ones that had slipped through the net. He raised his head and said to the leather-armored soldiers who consciously gathered around him and fought alongside him: "You also retreat!"
"Brother, can you do it alone?" the soldier whose face was protected by the iron mask asked.
Hong Gang grinned: "I am an intermediate evolver, this is just a warm-up."
hiss!
"What? Are you an intermediate? Intermediate evolver?"
"Brother, you are awesome!"
There was a sound of surprise all around.
In the entire local military region, all resources were concentrated on training, and there were less than fifty junior evolvers and two people with awakened powers.
Intermediate, none.
It’s not that it can’t be cultivated, but that the resources are insufficient to support it.
The military region has done calculations and found that the resources to train one intermediate evolver are enough to train more than ten junior evolvers.
Moreover, it is said that there is still a certain probability problem when junior level is promoted to intermediate level...
There is a lot of waste waiting to be done, and the local military regions simply cannot devote so many resources to cultivating intermediate evolvers.
Because of this, the local military region attaches great importance to the Fucheng camp, agrees to assist the crystal core resources, and dispatches this luxuriously equipped transport team to transport digital communication equipment and other supplies.
But no one expected it.
Even such a luxurious team has not yet reached its destination.
We have already suffered heavy losses and are disgraced...
