17 Cannonball

However, the range of small-caliber artillery is insufficient, and it is impossible to hit the island in the middle of the lake from the artillery regiment. Only the range of large-caliber artillery or rocket launchers can reach the island in the middle of the lake.

The power radius of the 155 grenade can reach 40 meters. One shot can destroy half a football field and cover the entire island in the middle of the lake, and it does not require many rounds of artillery shells.

If there are still a large number of survivors on the island, no one would dare to issue such an order. However, there are only a few survivors left on the entire island. In order to prevent the spread of giant insects, the higher-ups may really agree.

"That's right, how could you do this!" Zhang Yang sternly agreed.

Ye Han ignored them at all and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Firepower will cover the entire island immediately. I don't have time to explain to you. Let the military region send satellites and drones to investigate the situation!"

"No, I must be responsible for the lives of tourists!"

"There are no tourists anymore. All the survivors are at the Lakeview Hotel... Comrade, the armed police can't solve this matter. Just do as I say. You won't be held responsible for delaying the fighter plane." Ye Han's expression was so serious that it was almost stern.

, "If you report the situation truthfully, you don't have to take any responsibility. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand."

"It's the same thing again!" Bai Xiaoting muttered dissatisfiedly.

Ye Han wiped off the sweat on his forehead: "I repeat, we are at the Lakeview Hotel, please take a detour to the south of the island to pick us up and leave!"

Fortunately, the person opposite is not that arrogant. It would be troublesome if he met a stubborn person who wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin.

"Is everyone at your place?"

"I don't know, but we walked from north to south and didn't meet a single living person."

"Okay, I understand, wait for my news!"

"Okay!" Ye Han put down the walkie-talkie and breathed a sigh of relief, pointing to his feet and said: "The hotel is very strong. Even if it is too late to leave the island, it can protect us from the threat of artillery fire."

"You have no right to make decisions for us!" Zhou Yun said angrily, "I can't wait to beat you up right now."

Zhang Yang and Bai Xiaoting's expressions were not much better, and Professor Qin was only slightly better than the others.

Professor Qin is over seventy and doesn't care about his own life that much, but Bai Xiaoting is still by his side!

Ye Han forced a smile and said, "If you can escape, feel free to beat me up." After saying that, he looked back at the giant dragonfly, which was still alive.

Although the giant dragonfly was decapitated by Ye Han, the hardening process of the shell still continued. The originally translucent white jade shell now showed a bit of turquoise.

"Time is running out, let's go into the building." Ye Han said.

There was still something he had not said in his heart. If he could leave before the giant dragonflies' shells completely hardened, there would still be some possibility of escaping. If a large number of giant dragonflies flew into the sky... even if artillery fire covered the entire island,

There is no way to stop the spread of giant dragonflies unless nuclear bombs are used to destroy the island in the middle of the lake.

Several people walked towards the stairwell in silence, and the intercom rang again: "Island in the middle of the lake, please prepare for evacuation. Rescue will be here soon. Repeat, please prepare for evacuation. If you hear me, please answer!"

The sudden news immediately dispersed the gloom. Bai Xiaoting hugged Professor Qin and bit her lips and almost cried. Professor Qin quickly patted Bai Xiaoting's back and comforted his granddaughter softly. Zhang Yang looked annoyed and stood aside endlessly.

Rubbing his hands; Zhou Yun's expression relaxed, and he still looked at Ye Han with an unkind look.

Ye Han quickly replied: "Huxindao received it!"

"Island in the middle of the lake, please wait on the rooftop. It's over."

"How much longer will it take?" Ye Han asked urgently.

"Three minutes, five minutes at most."

Professor Qin's face changed drastically: "Quick, go down and call Wu Liang up!"

"What are you calling that bastard for?" Zhang Yang yelled dissatisfied.

Zhou Yun sighed helplessly: "I'll go."

"Don't we have to go downstairs to hide from the shells?" Bai Xiaoting asked weakly.

Ye Han's head almost exploded and he consoled him: "No, even if the firepower covers it, it won't be able to blow up the hotel."

Zhou Yun spread his footsteps and ran away, while Bai Xiaoting nodded in understanding amidst the heavy footsteps.

Ye Han looked at the lake expectantly and silently calculated the speed of the speedboat.

The armed police equipment guarding the dam is not very good. The speed of the speedboat is only average. It takes about two kilometers of waterway...

Before he could calculate the result, Ye Han suddenly heard a faint whistling sound coming from the horizon. The familiar scream made Ye Han's liver and gallbladder split, and he subconsciously yelled: "Artillery attack——"

Zhang Yang was like a rabbit with an arrow in the butt, holding his head and running towards the stairwell; Bai Xiaoting was completely dumbfounded and stood there in a daze; Professor Qin, on the other hand, was not impatient or irritable, and I don't know if he was really calm and composed.

Still as scared as Bai Xiaoting.

The elongated scream passed over the top of his head, and Ye Han looked up at the sky blankly.

He was not a veteran who had participated in the war, and he did not have the ability to distinguish the impact point of the artillery shell by listening to the sound, but he remembered seeing it somewhere. This kind of long-sounding scream could only be heard when it was far away from the impact point.

"Boom -" the blast of a thunder boat came from the west of the island in the middle of the lake.

Ye Han immediately raised the telescope and was astonished to find that Huxi Island was flashing with dense firelight, with rising mushroom-shaped smoke in rows, just like many gray-white giant trees suddenly growing on the island, and the spreading gunpowder smoke covered the entire Huxi Island.

The island was shrouded in a layer of smoke, and it was impossible to count how many shells landed on Huxi Island.

Some of the missed shells fell outside the island, and from time to time a jet of water burst into the sky.

The continuous muffled sound was like continuous thunder rolling across the sky, which shocked Ye Han. He felt as if he saw a group of swooping black shadows falling on Huxi Island.

After half a minute, the sound of the explosion slowly dissipated, and Huxi Island was covered in thick smoke. The smoke dispersed in the wind, and Ye Han even smelled the distinct smell of gunpowder smoke.

Zhang Yang, who had fled into the stairwell, came to his senses and hurried up to the rooftop again, too helpless to dare to approach Bai Xiaoting.

Ye Han was confused: "How come they all missed?"

Bai Xiaoting looked at Ye Han as if she were looking at an idiot: "Why do you still want the cannonball to fall on our heads?"

Ye Han was immediately asked by Bai Xiaoting: "That's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean!" Bai Xiaoting was aggressive, not giving Ye Han a chance to explain.

The sharp whistle of passing shells was heard again in the air. Bai Xiaoting's expression changed and she subconsciously hugged Professor Qin's arm.

Ye Han keenly discovered that the howling sound this time was much weaker than before, and the target did not seem to be Huxi Island.

As expected, just a few seconds later, muffled sounds were heard from the north of the island in the middle of the lake.

Zhou Yun rushed out of the stairwell in a panic and rushed to Ye Han's side: "What's going on? Did you really attract a cannonball?"

Ye Han pointed to the west: "Look at Huxi Island!"

There are two small islands to the north of the island in the center of the lake. Since the hills on the island in the center of the lake block the view, even if you stand on the rooftop of the hotel, you cannot see which island is covered by artillery fire. All you can see is Huxi Island.
