The ruined city is not any standard geometric shape, but two intersecting circles, one large and one small. The larger main city is close to the coast, and the smaller sub-city extends inland.
When receiving the order, Xiao Yuan and others were located in the southeast of the abandoned city, roughly directly below Xiaoyuan, half of the abandoned city separated from the sea wolf trapped in the city.
The straight-line distance between the two sides was only seven kilometers. Xiao Yuan wanted to take a shortcut inside the city, but the situation in the city was too complicated and he could be blocked by the bugs at any time. He could only lead his team around the city, which took about ten minutes.
It's six kilometers, and you can't touch it for hours at a time.
More than an hour later, the 2nd and 6th squadrons had completed two-thirds of the entire journey. At this time, the speeding convoy approached the abandoned city from the southeast.
The scheduled pick-up point is located on the west bank of the abandoned city, and the only way to get there quickly is to pass through the city.
There is more than one route to the west side of the abandoned city, but these routes are inseparable from the abandoned city. Even a quarter of the safest ring road is located inside the city.
Perhaps because there are a large number of bugs living in the abandoned city, all routes in the city are unobstructed, which makes the movement of the convoy a lot more convenient.
Just as the Languan was flying over Australia, Ye Han ordered the convoy to drive onto the ring road without hesitation after explaining the battleship cover.
The north side of the ring road is a wilderness full of earth plants and alien plants. There are big trees twenty or thirty meters high everywhere. Many big trees are wrapped with alien vines as thick as arms, with two different leaves.
Climb all the way from bottom to top to the top.
Under the tree were bushes that were as tall as a person. Ye Han observed carefully and found that the ratio of native plants to alien plants was basically half and half.
Ye Han was a little surprised. Didn't it mean that alien plants have stronger vitality and competitiveness than native plants and have been crowding out the living space of native plants? Why is the situation in Australia different from other regions?
Or is it that the native plants here were stimulated by alien plants and evolved to be more competitive?
On the other side of the ring road is the residential area of the abandoned city, where there are two-story villas with single houses everywhere. You don't need to ask to know that this must have been a high-end residential area before the war.
However, after being vacant for so many years, the villas here are also very dilapidated. Many buildings have collapsed and deformed, making them no longer habitable.
The open space between the buildings is also covered with various plants, adding a bit of desolation to the dilapidated residential area.
"Evil capitalism!" Ye Han muttered jealously.
The convoy was not moving very fast, and the soldiers were divided into two groups to observe the situation in the left and right directions respectively to prevent enemy sneak attacks.
In addition to direct observation, Ye Han has also been connected to the satellite in the sky, scanning the nearby situation through the equipment on the satellite, and ensuring the safety of the convoy in a two-pronged approach.
The situation was much better than Ye Han expected. Until the convoy passed through the sub-city, there was no enemy obstruction.
Everyone did not relax their vigilance, but instead tightened their nerves - the main city has more high-rise buildings, which are more suitable for enemies to hide and attack, and the situation is much more complicated than that of the secondary city.
Before entering the main city, Ye Han discovered a broken isolation zone on the outer edge of the main city. There was also a bare mechanical tower on the isolation zone. Unfortunately, only the tower body was left, and the machine gun on the top of the tower had long since disappeared.
The highway leading to the main city was open all the way, with no roadblocks or guards. The convoy was speeding along and was about to enter the main city, but Ye Han felt uneasy for no reason.
"Stop!" Ye Han suddenly shouted over the radio.
The soldiers didn't know why, but all the drivers braked suddenly.
Ye Han looked at the road ahead in silence, feeling increasingly uneasy in his heart.
Even if this was a real, deserted city, the roads would still have abandoned vehicles, burned-out roadblocks, and all kinds of garbage.
But what about this road? Although the road surface cannot be said to be clean, there are not many debris visible, and even the weeds on the road are much less than on roads in the wild.
Thinking of the many bugs living in the abandoned city, Ye Han felt that this road was probably under the control of the bugs.
If the opponent was an alien, Ye Han would definitely not consider it so much, but if the enemy was an insectoid who could use human weapons, he would have to think carefully.
Paratrooper vehicles are all light vehicles. Although the carriage panels are bulletproof, they cannot protect against heavy weapons. If the bugs block the road with mines... rushing into the abandoned city will only lead to death!
Ye Han also knew that maybe he was overthinking this, but it was about everyone's life and fortune, and he didn't dare to be more comprehensive.
Never venture into the abandoned city!
Ye Han immediately called up the electronic map and prepared to find a road that did not pass through the abandoned city.
If the highway fails, just take the path. There is always a way to the beach!
He quickly determined a new route and walked south from here. There was a river leading to the sea four kilometers away. From the map, the river was very wide and the depth was probably not too low. Even the Navy's submarine
If you can't drive in, the special service team can also take a rubber boat down the river. The only trouble is that the submarine must go around the mouth of the river!
It was easier for the submarine to move than for a convoy to pass through the city. Ye Han made up his mind and immediately ordered over the radio: "Turn around and go south!"
The convoy turned a corner on the road and drove in the direction it came from, leaving only a trail of smoke and dust.
At the edge of the ruined city, a bug-man popped out of a window without glass, and then figures of bug-men appeared in other windows. They silently watched the fleet of cars going away, and soon disappeared into the buildings, like
Never appeared.
The convoy going south went smoothly and arrived at the bridge in a short while. Ye Han was surprised to find that there was actually a small dock under the bridge.
It's just that there are alien plants everywhere along the river, and only one-third of the river's water surface is left.
Ye Han called to the battleship: "Languan, I need a rubber boat, and help me clear the way!"
"clear!"
The Languan, which was over Australia, immediately airdropped an inflatable rubber boat to the river, then adjusted the attitude of the warship and fired several electromagnetic artillery shells into the river.
Because the battleship was right above Australia, this time it was much more accurate than shelling the center of the abandoned city. The shells fell into the river one after another. Each shell entering the water stirred up high spray, a large amount of silt, and countless broken plants.
One of the shells landed just on the opposite bank, creating a huge gap that reached right into the center of the river.
After the rubber boat landed, Ye Han immediately directed the troops to cross the bridge, abandon the vehicles and launch into the water from the gap. Everyone went down the river and left the river and entered the sea in only ten minutes.
However, the height of the submarine is nearly 40 meters, and the depth of the entrance to the sea is not enough. More importantly, it is too close to the coast and may be covered by the insect's long-range artillery fire. Therefore, the fleet moved forward for a while until it reached a safe deep water area and hid.
