The engine roared, and the modified crawler loader spewed out a stream of black smoke. Ye Han stood on the small platform in front of the cab and inserted a bullet chain into the large-caliber machine gun.
The airport not only stocks supplies, but also stocks a lot of construction machinery. After Ye Han made the request, Commander Yu immediately thought of this crawler loader.
Common loaders are wheeled, and crawler-type ones are rare. There is one like this at the airport, and it is a modified version with front loading and rear digging. It looks weird like a spider with missing legs.
This thing has been modified a long time ago. An iron cage made of thick steel bars was installed around the cab. A patterned steel plate to house the machine gun was temporarily welded in front of the cab. It was ready to go.
Time waited for no one, and the temperature of the solder joints had not yet dropped. The driver started the loader at Ye Han's signal and drove slowly but firmly towards the airport gate.
The airport gate has long lost its original role. The machine gun towers on both sides of the gate have been firing. There are only a few soldiers in the position under the tower with machine guns on guard. Once the machine gun towers run out of bullets, the machine guns under the tower will immediately join the battle.
, the cover warrior climbed the tower to change ammunition.
The street outside the gate was covered with the corpses of giant insects. When the loader drove out of the gate, it happened to encounter several trucks filled with refugees arriving at the airport. Ye Han signaled the driver to get out of the way, and the loader slowly drove towards
Get out of the way on one side of the road.
The truck passed by the side of the loader, and the truck was full of refugees with dull expressions. Ye Han was very reluctant to use this word to describe his compatriots, but he didn't accept it in his heart. It didn't mean that these people in front of him were not refugees.
Refugees in the strict sense must leave their country, but refugees in the broader sense refer to people who are homeless and displaced due to natural disasters.
These people still have a country, but in the face of the raging insect plague, the country can only protect civilians as much as possible, and even bans guns for this purpose.
However, even if the unorganized civilians obtain weapons, it will be difficult for them to fight against the hordes of giant insects. They will either be trapped in their homes by the giant insects, or they will fight desperately before dying.
The ending of the former is mostly when they run out of ammunition and food and are forced to flee, while the ending of the latter is basically tragic, with a certain chance of killing the giant insect and being buried with it.
The truck drove into the airport, and the loader got back on the road. The strong tracks ran over the giant insect's body, making a loud sound like it was crushing glass.
The tracks rolled over the giant insect, and the tracks were filled with broken carapace and shit-green insect blood.
The loader drove further and further away, gradually leaving the protection range of the machine gun tower, and lone giant insects began to appear nearby. Ye Han shot without hesitation, and the 12.7mm large-caliber bullet effortlessly penetrated the giant insect, killing it.
The giant insect running toward the loader fell to the ground.
Ye Han used the individual radar on the armor to capture the direction of the giant insect and killed it calmly and easily.
Scattered giant insects are easy to eliminate, but more and more giant insects are approaching the loader. There are flashing light spots everywhere on the radar, and each light spot moves very fast. The originally rhythmic shooting sound changes.
It was so disorganized that it almost turned into a strafing attack, but it still couldn't stop more and more giant insects.
The situation was developing in the worst direction. Ye Han shook his hands and threw a smoke bomb, and the thick smoke immediately enveloped the loader.
Ordinary military smoke grenades can not only block sight, but also block infrared rays and microwaves, but the functions of traditional smoke grenades are of little use against giant insects.
To this end, the military has developed special smoke bombs specifically designed to deal with giant insects. Pungent smelling ingredients are added to the smoke to stimulate the giant insects' sense of smell to deter them.
"Go forward and keep driving!" Ye Han said on the radio.
Although he couldn't see clearly outside the smoke, the radar could detect the buildings on both sides of the road. As long as he walked along the middle of the buildings, he would not deviate from the road.
The loader quickly drove out of the smoke area. A giant insect lingering outside the smoke was almost crushed by the track. Ye Han fired several shots to kill the giant insect, and the nearby giant insect charged again.
Ye Han could only throw one more smoke bomb... He only had two smoke bombs on him. The loader rushed out of the smoke for the second time. Ye Han quickly pulled out the ammunition chain from the ammunition box next to him and connected several ammunition chains end to end.
Connected together, and finally stuck on the machine gun's ammunition belt.
The gunfire rang out, and the giant insect that rushed towards the loader was shot in the air and fell onto the track.
More giant insects pounced on the loader. Ye Han's machine gun swept across and hit three giant insects in an instant. However, a giant insect behind him had already jumped on Ye Han's back and bit Ye Han's shoulder hard.
At the critical moment, the driver shouted: "Jump out of the car!"
Ye Han didn't have time to think about it and instinctively jumped off the platform.
Although his movements were fast, he was still a step too slow, and was bitten on the shoulder by the giant insect, whose strong jaws clicked on the armor.
The chitinous insect's jaws could not bite through the titanium alloy, but the giant insect's bite destroyed Ye Han's balance, and the original jumping movement immediately went out of shape, so that Ye Han fell to the ground with his arms stretched out, and even the machine gun was thrown aside.
.
The giant insect that failed to bite through the prey stood on the small platform with its limbs crouched down, as if it was about to pounce on Ye Han. The driver pulled the joystick without hesitation: "Go to hell!"
The hydraulic arm in front of the loader was suddenly raised, and the pattern steel plate was directly squeezed flat by the hydraulic arm. The giant insect's thorax was crushed by the hydraulic arm, and it was clamped in the hydraulic arm like a broken egg.
Ye Han was so dizzy from the fall that he just woke up when five or six giant insects jumped out nearby.
His eyes fell on the machine gun two meters away, but the approaching giant insects didn't give him a chance to grab the gun, and they all pounced on Ye Han in unison.
Ye Han quickly rolled all the way to the spot. While avoiding the attack, he held the armored rifle in his backhand. Before he could take off the gun, the giant insect had already jumped on him and bit his neck.
Although the giant insect could not bite the power armor, the situation of being unable to use it despite his strength made Ye Han extremely sad and angry.
At this moment, the driver controlled the loader to rotate on the spot while unfolding the excavating arm. The thrown-out bucket hit the giant insect on Ye Han's body with extraordinary precision, and knocked the giant insect five or six meters away.
This wasn't the end yet. The bucket continued to rotate, sweeping aside several other giant insects, and clearing an insect-free area around Ye Han.
Ye Han was so surprised that he stretched out his thumb towards the cab in admiration, picked up the machine gun in one stride, and wrapped the accumulated ammunition belts around his body.
The driver immediately brought the bucket to Ye Han and shouted: "Come on!"
Ye Han jumped into the bucket knowingly, picked up the machine gun and fired repeatedly.
The giant insects nearby pounced on Ye Han without giving up. The ones from the front were shot to death by Ye Han, while the ones from the side were swerved to avoid by the driver. As for the ones from the back, it was even easier. Ye Han had his back against the hydraulic arm, so the giant insects would only hit him.
on the hydraulic arm.
No matter how powerful the giant insect is, it still has no ability to destroy hydraulic machinery.
