The sound of the wind produced by the helicopter's propellers was so fast that everyone on the battlefield had to look up.
Qin Zhibo was shocked. Could it be that the person who attacked the coronation parade came back in an AH-64?
But Yusaku Kudo in the command center seemed to have guessed what the people here were thinking, and directly issued an announcement on the radio.
"It's our fire support."
Qin Zhibo turned on his night vision goggles and carefully identified the armed helicopter in the sky. He found that it was indeed a Wuzhi that was slightly behind the Apache. It had the Vespagna logo on its tail.
However, even the backward Wuzhi still has powerful air fire support.
Orange-yellow light points were fired from the cannon holes one by one, striking at Mi-Go who was hiding behind the bunker with terrifying power.
The moment it came into contact with the 25mm cannon, Mi Go's biochemical armor was easily broken open, as effective as an armor-piercing bullet, exposing the fungus body underneath his body.
Without biochemical armor, Mi-Go's ability to withstand strikes is not much stronger than that of humans.
Countless bullets were fired out, and each Mi-Go fell down like mowing grass.
…
"Buzz..."
As the last Mi-Go lay on the ground, it hummed unwillingly, then fell heavily, and all the Mi-Gos that rushed out of the mine were finally killed.
The soldiers looked at the remains of corpses that looked like alien monsters all over the place, and then at the large number of bullet casings piled up at their feet, and their minds were filled with confusion.
Only Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku in the command center knew with certainty that this was a victory in the first battle.
The human camp did not pay any casualties except for a large number of bullets.
"Win, win?"
"I think I won..."
"Won!"
"Won--"
The soldiers tentatively confirmed with each other at first, until their brains reached a consensus, and then they cheered.
Looking at the numerous Mi.G corpses scattered on the gray ground, everyone felt a great sense of accomplishment.
The crowd got excited for a while and began to clean the battlefield.
Due to Mi·Go's strong vitality, even if he seems to be dead, he may still be breathing.
All the soldiers were divided into groups of five. One of them stepped forward to confirm his death and burned him, while the other four protected him from behind.
And when you step forward to make sure, you should shoot the gun to the head in advance to further reduce the probability of hitting the "second stage" again.
Kudo Yusaku explained these matters clearly on the radio, and the soldiers immediately started executing the order.
Qin Zhibo and Conan also came to the mining area and looked at the helicopter leaving in the sky.
We are going back to replenish ammunition, and if nothing unexpected happens, the next target of the attack will be Mi Ge in the mine, and air support will be useless.
Qin Zhibo roughly scanned the Mi Ge corpses currently on the battlefield. There were about 40 of them, which did not match the number of biochemical dolls that were originally detected in the mining camp.
There are at least about 60 Mi-Gos underground...
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo stood there, closed his eyes, switched his vision to the guard totem placed in the underground mine, and saw the scene inside the mine.
In the dark cave, almost no sound could be heard.
The noises of mice, M.G.'s voices, and the ball of light emitted by the electric gun all disappeared, and the passage became very quiet.
This can only have two results. One is that the mice will wipe out all Mi Ge.
This is obviously impossible. Although tens of thousands of rats can kill a few Mi-Gos and disrupt Mi-Go's deployment, that's all.
Then there is only one other possibility left, Mi.G. kills all the rats.
Qin Zhibo withdrew his vision and observed three seconds of silence for the tens of thousands of "Jerrys" who sacrificed their lives.
If only I could touch the corpse of a mouse...
At this moment, a harsh buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the mining area.
Qin Zhibo followed the sound and saw that it was a Mi Ge whose body was on fire, spread out a pair of membrane wings, and soared into the sky.
The surrounding soldiers immediately opened fire, but Mi Go took off with all his strength. After unfolding, his huge body was already ten meters high from the ground.
boom!
Suddenly, a bullet flew from a distance and accurately hit Mi Go's ellipsoidal head.
Mi·Ge's body fell from the air, fell to the ground, broke into several pieces, and burned quietly on the ground.
Qin Zhibo looked back following the sound of bullets. It was Daisuke Jigen carrying Barrett to cover in the distance.
At the same time, Kudo Yusaku, who had been watching the surveillance footage, reminded everyone again on the radio.
"Be careful, this creature is very tenacious."
With this episode as a warning, everyone replenished their guns more carefully. They would never get close to the ellipsoid without smashing its head.
In the mining area, gunshots were heard one after another.
By the time all Mi Go's corpses were burned, half an hour had passed.
Everyone took a short rest and took out the underground mine map they had prepared in advance to plan.
This underground mine is not complicated. There is only one main passage. There are several branches on the path of the main passage, but they are all dead ends and there is nothing inside.
The final destination of the main channel is the largest mineral deposit of Vespagna ore.
Since the mine tunnels are relatively narrow, it is impossible for all soldiers to rush in at once, so only the most elite troops can be concentrated into the mines to perform the next tasks.
First of all, Qin Zhihiro, Conan, Lupine the Third, Daisuke Jigen, Goemon Ishikawa, and Koichi Zenagata will definitely go in.
The next step is to recruit volunteers from among the soldiers.
"Next we have to enter the mine to eliminate the remaining alien creatures."
"The space under the mine is narrow, so I only need 40 warriors to go down with us..."
"But I would like to remind everyone that the next mission is very dangerous. The number of Mi-Gos is only a lot more than before, and the difficulty of the battle is completely different from the previous one. You must think carefully about it."
Qin Zhibo did not hide the danger, especially the number of meters in the mine.
The battle just now was against more than 40 Mi-Goos, and it was done with a huge advantage, which can make these people's hearts frighten.
If you go deep into a dark underground mine and face a larger number of Mi-Gos, the situation will be even more dangerous, which will be a great test for your skills and will.
But after the soldiers were silent for a few seconds, the first person raised his hand.
Then the second one, the third one...
The soldiers raised their hands one after another, and soon enough 40 people were gathered. Together with Qin Zhibo and others' 6-man team, a total of 46 people entered the mine.
To put it bluntly, these people are death squads.
But there was no fear on the faces of these soldiers. They picked up their equipment one by one, lined up under the command of Qin Zhibo, and prepared to enter the mine.
As for the remaining soldiers, they set up two lines of defense ten meters away from the entrance of the mine to guard against any creatures coming out of it.
Including humans.
…
In the dark mine, several light sources appeared from around the corner.
Five soldiers stood in a row, holding plastic explosion-proof shields. Under the illumination of overhead searchlights, they slowly explored the unknown area ahead.
The formation at the rear is also based on a row of five people, with a total of nine rows of people. The only extra person is Conan.
Children are still young, so they are not considered human beings.
Everyone held their breath, and in the solemn air there was only the sound of uniform footsteps.
Qin Zhibo and Conan were in the middle of the team. Although they could not clearly see the situation in front, they could judge the situation from the ground they stepped on.
From time to time, there are dead rat carcasses at your feet, and the deeper you go into the mine, the more rat carcasses there are.
There are also Mi.G corpses in the mine, but the number is very small, and they have begun to dissolve after death.
The team advanced all the way, and suddenly, a blue light ball flew from the depths of the quiet mine tunnel.
The ball of light flew extremely fast and arrived in front of the front row of soldiers in an instant.
But the soldier's body was hidden behind the explosion-proof shield, and the explosion-proof shield was made of plastic. The light ball exploded a black mark on the surface of the shield, and there was no follow-up.
“Buzz——!”
At this time, two more MiGs emerged from the darkness of the mine, rushing out of the darkness and exposed to the light source of the searchlight.
The ellipsoidal head covered with tentacles suddenly flashed out, but the edges of the body were covered with a looming darkness, adding an element of terror to it.
hiss……
The soldiers in the front row were so frightened that they took in a breath of cold air. Although it was still the same creature, it was more shocking in the dark mine.
"shot!"
Kudo Yusaku, who observed the battlefield through the helmet camera in the individual combat system, immediately issued instructions on the radio.
Only then did these soldiers think of shooting, and the soldiers in the front row and second row fired back.
The dense bullets flashed through the pits, like streaks of lightning, illuminating the dim environment.
Mi Ge, who was rushing towards him crazily, was suppressed by this firepower, and his body, with teeth and claws showing, immediately stopped.
This smart alien creature was afraid of human firepower and wanted to shrink back, but it was too late.
The two plastic explosion-proof shields in the middle were seen moving to the left and right, and a soldier was holding a flamethrower. A thin tongue of flame was thrown out from the mouth of the gun, and it happened to hit the two Mi-Gos.
The biochemical armor gives Mi.G. the ability to resist fire, but the salvo just now has already made many holes in the armor.
The bodies of the fungi in these holes were easily ignited, and the flames spread throughout Mi Go's body.
Mi.Go, who was on fire, seemed to have been greatly stimulated. The short tentacles on his head twitched wildly, and a pair of huge pincers were waving wildly in the narrow mine.
The fire-breathing soldier quickly added another flame, and several other soldiers added their guns, and Mi Go died.
They didn't expect that after these few days of cessation, humans had already thought of a way to deal with Mi.G.
In addition to regular bullets, Mi-Go's body is actually very afraid of flames. As long as it shoots to knock off part of the armor, it can be burned with fire.
Moreover, the ice sprayer used by Mi·Go can also be perfectly offset by the flamethrower.
As for Mi·Gou's most commonly used electric gun, no matter how powerful it is, it is just electricity and can be blocked with a non-conductive plastic explosion-proof shield.
To this end, the military factory in Vespania rushed to produce a batch of life-size and thickened plastic explosion-proof shields.
It's just that an explosion-proof shield cannot withstand the electro-optical ball indefinitely, and will eventually be burned by the heat on the electro-optical sphere.
As the fire on the two Mi-Gos in the tunnel gradually extinguished, the team continued to move forward.
Soon, everyone came to a fork in the road.
The fork in the road is dark inside. Although the mine map shows that it is a dead end, it does not rule out the possibility that Mi Go is hiding inside and intends to sneak around from behind and attack.
In order to ensure nothing was missed, the team divided 15 soldiers and followed this fork in the road to explore inside.
A quarter of an hour later, 15 soldiers returned safely and confirmed that there was no danger at the fork in the road.
The team continued to advance forward.
The mine is still very quiet, and there are more and more dead rats on the road.
The carcasses of these dead rats were lying across the tunnel. It was difficult for everyone to find a place to stay, so they had to step directly over the carcasses of the rats.
This makes every step feel like walking on swamp ground, which feels very uncomfortable.
Qin Zhibo held Conan in his arms to prevent him from stepping on the corpse of the big rat and damaging the powerful Vajra foot he had finally mastered.
The corpses of these dead rats also made the atmosphere in the team more tense, and seemed to indicate the final fate of their group of death squads.
Not long after, we came to the second fork in the road.
The team was finally able to take a short rest, and at the same time sent another 15 people to explore inside.
There was a fork in the road marked on the map that was only 200 meters away, and it took the team a full 30 minutes to return.
In addition to these ordinary soldiers gradually approaching the critical value in a state of mental stress, their physical strength is also slowly declining.
In this dark and narrow passage environment, you have to always be wary of strange monsters that may attack from the front. The pressure on your heart is really too great.
In this mentally tortured situation, only Lupine and the others still seemed to have big hearts and joked with each other.
"If Fujiko came to a place like this, she would be so frightened that she would jump into my arms and beg me to hold her and not let go, right?"
"Hehe~"
Lupine III raised his right foot high and kicked the dead rat in front of him like a football into the depths of the dark passage.
"Aren't you deceived enough by that woman?"
Daisuke Jigen, who was wearing a mask, held up his hat and complained: "If it weren't for the purpose of replacing that woman's body, we wouldn't be in this ghost place..."
This is Daisuke Jigen's second time here. The first time was to steal the Queen's Crown, and he had to steal the Vespagna ore first to shield the defense system in the palace basement.
But this second time, the difficulty was completely different from the first time.
Seeing his companion complaining, Lupine the Third smiled slightly, "Of course I want to get Fujiko's body back~"
"From the first day she and I met, we were destined to be like magnets that attract each other and cannot be separated, whether it is soul or body..."
The money-shaped police officer next to him came up from behind, shined a flashlight on his face from his chin, and showed a strange smile.
"Me too~"
"Ah!" Lupine III looked back and was startled by Qian Xing's ghost appearance.
Just as the people in the passage continued to joke, a strange noise suddenly came from the dark passage.
The soldiers who were resting in the passage were about to stand up to guard, but were blocked by a white figure.
"Just continue to rest..."
"My Zantetsujian is already thirsty..."
It turned out that Ishikawa Goemon was ready to take action.
