The armor-piercing warhead of the individual rocket penetrated the outer shell of the chariot in the explosion. The chariot's belly exploded violently, breaking through the shell of the chariot. The huge chariot finally turned over and fell to the ground, completely losing its ability to move.
The sound of gunfire stopped and the sound of explosions gradually subsided. Everyone stared at the car bug with its intestines and stomachs pierced and couldn't calm down. Everyone's breathing was as heavy as thunder.
The armies of the United States and France officially joined forces, but the atmosphere after the meeting was awkward.
Constantine wanted to carry out Thomas's order immediately, but felt that the situation at hand was not suitable for doing so. After careful consideration, Constantine finally announced in front of a dozen French soldiers that Bruno would be relieved of his command, and the two armies then joined forces.
Stay at the same place and continue to explore the alien battleship.
The French soldiers were very dissatisfied with Thomas's order. Fortunately, Bruno knew the basics well and restrained the French soldiers to obey the orders. This did not cause a conflict between the two armies and the exploration operation could continue.
Although Constantine dismissed Bruno from his post, the French soldiers still followed Bruno's lead. Constantine did not force it and turned a blind eye to the French soldiers.
Having learned from the mistakes of car bugs, everyone was much more cautious in their next actions, especially when exploring the cabin.
According to the report of Bruno and others, Constantine believed that the cabin containing the slime was probably a cabin specially used to hold carriage bugs, and its function was similar to a stable. In the subsequent operations, everyone found several more bug stables, but no more.
Any car bug.
Not just car bugs, even after searching the entire ship, no living creatures were found.
The two armies spent more than three hours searching the ruined ship. Finally, they summarized the situation and found a total of fourteen alien corpses, one car bug (killed), and various alien aliens with unknown functions.
Star items do not count.
Constantine also led the soldiers to find the cab of the alien spacecraft, but all the equipment was completely destroyed. Not to mention that humans did not understand the alien equipment, even if they did, they probably would not be able to repair the equipment.
The same situation occurred in several other important cabins, but the only one that everyone could recognize was the cockpit. No one knew what the functions of the other damaged cabins were.
However, after summarizing the data, Constantine carefully calculated based on the layout of the cabins and calculated that this battleship can carry at least 500 to 700 aliens. There are only 12 visible corpses, so where are the other aliens?
Already?
Not only Constantine in the front had doubts, but Thomas in the back was also doubtful.
Since he couldn't think of a reason, he simply called a group of staff to brainstorm to see if they could find any useful clues.
After some discussion, something was actually discussed - judging from the situation in the alien battleship, there must be more than one car bug domesticated by the aliens, but only one was found in the battleship, so the aliens were very worried.
Probably left on a buggy.
The staff believe that it is unlikely that the newly arrived aliens will control the ant colony as soon as they land. Although the car bugs are powerful, they have no advantage when facing thousands of giant ants. In addition, the car bugs are good at digging holes.
The possibility of aliens burrowing away on buggy vehicles is high.
The worms are so big that the burrows they dig cannot be small. If the burrows left by the worms can be found near the incident site, it is not impossible to track aliens.
With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, Thomas issued an order to search the cave in front of Constantine. Constantine immediately mobilized the coalition forces of the two countries to launch a search net near the battleship.
The forest is full of eager giant ants, and the search must rely on armored vehicles and poisonous smoke bombs to proceed smoothly. In order to save time, Constantine and his American soldiers set off directly by helicopter. It took several hours for the armored vehicles to arrive. Initially,
The search had to be carried out by the French.
But because of Thomas's order, the relationship between the two parties was very tense, and Constantine could not bear the consequences of disobeying him again.
In order to prevent the French soldiers from being idle workers, Constantine promised the French soldiers that as long as they cooperated well, he would intercede for Bruno when he returned. He also very skillfully talked about a lot of things like making up for his mistakes. In short, he spent a lot of words and finally finally
The enthusiasm of the French army was mobilized and a preliminary search was launched.
Constantine and his American soldiers were not idle, and started searching directly with poisonous smoke bombs. Although they were not safe in an armored vehicle, the possibility of being attacked by giant ants was not high.
The armored vehicles were already moving forward and Al Qaeda was boarding the aircraft. It would only take a few hours for them to be vacant, so just walking around was just a way to kill time.
Unfortunately, the soldiers circled the battleship and couldn't find any clues.
The lush vegetation in the rainforest makes it difficult to move around, and the bugs are so large that they should leave very obvious traces when leaving.
But it was more than two months ago that the alien battleship crashed. The plants in the rainforest grew rapidly. Let alone more than two months, even two weeks, it would be difficult to find any traces.
The news from the front could not be concealed from anyone at all. The news that the search operation was deadlocked was quickly learned by the Djibouti command center, and the Chinese base not far away also received the news.
Soon after, the Chinese took the initiative to provide a clue: based on the experience of the Maple City incident, the bugs probably left from the bottom of the alien battleship.
So Constantine and others had to return to the alien battleship and carefully check the bottom compartment again, especially those places that might be exits, which were the top priority of the search.
In addition, Thomas transferred the two closest teams to support Constantine. Once the troops were in place, the search force was immediately doubled.
Thomas even considered asking China to join, but as soon as the idea popped into his mind, he was immediately rejected.
Just kidding, if China is brought into the scene at this time, wouldn’t the previous rejection be in vain?
An hour later, the transport plane arrived as scheduled and dropped the armored vehicle near the alien battleship.
Shortly after the plane returned, heavy rains came as expected, and the search operation was suspended. All armored vehicles returned, and the armored vehicles were directly blasted open the hull of the battleship to drive in. It was a strong bunker that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There was no need to look for a place to hide as usual.
rain.
During the heavy rain, the ant colony launched several waves of offensive, but they were all defeated by the powerful defense of poisonous smoke bombs.
At the same time, two troops that received the rescue order were moving closer to Constantine, one of which was the Italian troops located more than 60 kilometers away in the southwest.
The Italians had just had lunch when they received the order and were preparing to find a hiding place before the heavy rain came. The Italians were unmoved at all after receiving the order, and they quickly found a spacious place.
