The low roar suddenly rose in pitch, and the heavy armored vehicle roared forward, slamming away the oncoming giant ants.
Several giant ants that climbed onto the roof of the car were thrown off by the armored vehicle that suddenly started, and they hit the cabin hard, and were crushed by the armored vehicle behind them.
The smoke grenade launcher on the roof of the car buzzed, and several smoke grenades were thrown away from the launcher and fell into the cabin, immediately spewing out thick smoke. The giant ants that came into contact with the smoke were like drunkards who had drunk too much.
Becoming staggering and staggering.
What the armored vehicle fired was not a smoke bomb, but a poisonous smoke bomb made using the principle of smoke bombs. What it sprayed out was not much smoke, but a highly efficient compound insecticide developed for giant ants.
One of the main ingredients of this pesticide can destroy the function of the insect's air sacs. Once a giant insect inhales this pesticide, it will gradually lose its ability to move due to lack of oxygen.
The other main ingredient is to paralyze the antennae of giant ants, disabling the antennae that giant ants rely on for survival. The antennae of insects are directly connected to the central nervous system. Giant ants exposed to pesticides will also lose their sense of smell and touch.
Hearing and even the sense of balance will be affected, so that even though he has six legs, he is staggering all over the place.
This is because the inhalation time is short. If it lasted longer, I would be unable to move and eventually die.
No matter how you look at it, humans have an advantage when using technological power against bugs that rely entirely on instinct.
The armored vehicle broke through the ant colony and rushed onto the runway, firing gas bombs as it flew. Wherever the armored vehicle drove, the smoke followed. Eight armored vehicles rushed towards the crashed transport plane from different directions, leaving several streaks or straight lines on the airport.
Or twisting corridors of smoke.
All giant ants submerged in smoke lose their ability to move. Even if they inhale just a little smoke, they will have difficulty moving and determining direction.
The command center watched the scenes at the airport. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Thomas showed a comfortable smile: "James, James?"
"I'm here, General." James agreed quickly.
Thomas pointed at the screen and said: "Next time, we must put poisonous smoke bombs on the plane."
"Yes, General, our plan still has a lot to improve." James agreed.
At the airport, eight armored vehicles had already approached the crashed plane under the cover of poisonous smoke, forming a faint circle and surrounding the wreckage of the plane.
The fire was raging, no giant ant dared to get close to the burning wreckage of the plane, and the sound of explosive ammunition exploding could be heard from time to time in the plane.
In this case, no one dared to approach the wreckage of the plane.
The on-site commander, who had no choice but to do anything, shouted on the radio: "The scene cannot be approached, repeat, the scene cannot be approached!"
Thomas also realized that there was something wrong with the previous order. He held his forehead and said: "Tell the airport to forget about the transport planes and let them clear the runway, right now!"
James's eyes lit up: "I'll go right away!"
After receiving the new order, the on-site commander couldn't help but rolled his eyes and immediately ordered the troops to clear the runway.
The eight armored vehicles restarted, running on the runway while releasing bombs, using poisonous smoke to drive away the giant ants entrenched on the runway. They ran from one end of the runway to the other. The runway was filled with poisonous smoke. The giant ants either fled far away or half-dead.
sucker Punch.
The on-site commander reported loudly: "The runway has been cleared, repeat, the runway has been cleared!"
"Very good, order the fleet to continue landing!" Thomas said.
Although Morobeda Airport is simple, the runway is no less than three kilometers long, and the landing distance of the C-17 when using thrust reversers is 915 meters!
The crashed plane was located on one side of the runway, cutting off about one kilometer of the runway. The remaining runway length was still more than two kilometers, and the transport aircraft in the air could land normally!
The runway was cleared, and the landing planes no longer had to worry about the ant colony. They landed smoothly one after another. After landing, each plane would move to the tarmac as quickly as possible and get out of the way of the runway in time.
The strong wind caused by the plane's landing blew away the poisonous smoke. The eight armored vehicles that landed first could only guard both sides of the runway, constantly throwing poisonous smoke bombs to prevent the ants from approaching.
After a series of actions, the reserves of these eight armored vehicles have been exhausted, and the poisonous smoke bombs are about to be used up.
Fortunately, the newly landed transport will open the cabin door as soon as possible, allowing the troops in the cabin to join the ranks of guarding the runway in time.
To be cautious, the first ones to land were American soldiers. It was not until all the American soldiers landed that troops from other countries landed one after another. More and more armored vehicles joined the defense, keeping the insect swarm firmly out of the runway.
When the plane carrying supplies landed, the troops were fully supplied. The multinational forces unloaded the supplies on the plane as quickly as possible, not only replenishing the consumed ammunition, but also utilizing the defensive equipment in the supplies. A defense line surrounding the apron gradually formed.
forming.
The situation became increasingly clear, the solemn atmosphere in the headquarters gradually relaxed, and joy gradually appeared on everyone's faces.
The hour hand points to one o'clock in the afternoon. More than half of the fleet has landed, and the remaining few planes will all land in a short time.
The command center suddenly received feedback from the fleet: "Clouds are gathering, repeat, clouds are gathering, we don't have much time!"
Morobeda is located in the northern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, deep in the tropical rainforest of the Zaire Basin. The climate here is humid, with high temperatures all year round. It is sunny in the morning and hot in the afternoon, and rains in the afternoon and stops in the evening.
It was already about one o'clock in the afternoon. The exposure all morning had accumulated a large amount of water vapor in the air. Cumulonimbus clouds were forming over the airport. It would not take long for heavy rain to fall from the sky.
The staff department has taken rainfall factors into consideration when formulating the combat plan, but the rain forest usually rains between two and three o'clock in the afternoon. It rains sooner or later, but it happened earlier when the official launch of the operation today.
Rainfall in tropical rainforests is often accompanied by strong winds and thunder and lightning. If the plane cannot land before the heavy rain, the only option is to return immediately.
Thomas' face changed slightly: "How long do we have?"
James shook his head: "Half an hour? Maybe less."
Thomas roared: "Give me the order to the damn fleet and make them move faster!"
"It's already the fastest." James reminded.
Thomas gritted his teeth: "Damn it! Is God on the side of the bugs?"
Thomas hates accidents that go beyond the plan. If it is caused by human factors, he will definitely deal with the people involved severely. But only God can decide when it will rain. He doesn't know who to turn to if he wants to complain.
"I firmly believe that God will always bless his people, and only the devil will stand with ugly and evil bugs." James' words were decisive, "We still have time, and I believe that the remaining planes can all land before it rains!"
