Global Cataclysm: I became a world tree

Chapter 173 How did it become a decisive battle?

"Retreat." Before Chen Dalong arrived, he took the lead in shouting.

The defensive team, which had been fighting while retreating, turned around and ran away after hearing the call.

The rescue team led by Chen Dalong has made more than a dozen shots in the past few hours. The team on the A13 defense line has already seen how powerful they are.

They are very clear that staying here is dragging their feet, and those who retreat can be said to be straightforward.

As the defense team retreated, the mutated insects that rushed up the city wall had not had time to disperse and attack other places, Chen Dalong rushed into the swarm of insects at the head of a horse.

With the two ring-headed knives in his hand, he swung them left and right, or slashed, or slashed, or slashed, or swiped, all using the simplest moves.

However, when these moves are approaching the extreme, the lethality will become extremely terrifying.

In the eyes of others, the twin knives in Chen Dalong's hands seemed to form thousands of blade lights. Wherever he passed, those mutated insects were cut in half one after another.

Following Chen Dalong's entry, he immediately attracted the attention of most of the mutated insects, and attacked him.

At this time, the rest of the rescue team entered the arena one after another.

With Chen Dalong at the front, their pressure was undoubtedly much less, but even so, they did not dare to go on the rampage like Chen Dalong.

After all, each of these mutated insects that can rush to the top of the city wall can be regarded as the best of its kind. As long as they are careless, they may be injured.

So among the 9 people who followed, 4 of them were good at melee combat, and they took cold weapons to the front.

Their task is to create a safe output environment for the companions behind them.

The five people who were protected behind were all veterans with superb marksmanship. After becoming evolutionaries, their strength, eyesight, and reaction speed had all been greatly enhanced.

Da da da!
The five people were all using the strafing mode. If it was before, even if the strafing mode was used within 5 meters, the hit rate of the bullets would probably not exceed 10%.

After all, in the shooting mode, 10 rounds of bullets will be fired in one second. Normal people don't even have time to move the muzzle of the gun, and the bullets are shot out in one shot.

Under such circumstances, the [-]% hit rate is already the result of their years of training.

Now that he has become an evolutionary, his marksmanship has been greatly enhanced. If he shoots these mutated insects, as long as the distance does not exceed 10 meters, the effective hit rate of the bullets can even reach half.

That doesn't sound like much, but it's actually pretty scary.

An automatic rifle has 30 bullets in a magazine. In the strafing mode, it can be fired in three seconds. The effective hit rate of 50% means that it can kill about 3 mutated insects in three seconds.

With five of them shooting alternately, the efficiency of killing mutated insects was only faster than Chen Dalong's.

In just one minute, with the joint efforts of everyone, more than half of the more than 1 mutated insects that rushed up this section of the city wall were killed.

However, as the number of mutated insects decreased and became less dense, the killing efficiency naturally began to decline.

A group of members changed the shooting mode to the burst shooting mode one after another, and Chen Dalong also changed from being chased and killed by mutant insects to hunting and killing mutant insects.

It took another 4 minutes or so before everyone finally killed the last mutated insect on this section of the city wall.

"Is anyone injured?" Chen Dalong put away his swords and came over to ask.

"No." Everyone said in unison.

No one was injured, which is good news, but Chen Dalong is not happy at all now.

He glanced at the mutant swarm that seemed to be getting denser in the distance, and said with a sigh: "Then everyone, hurry up and replenish the ammunition. I don't think it will take long before the next wave of attacks is coming."

The rest of the people also had serious expressions when they heard this.

They all felt that this attack was unusual, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Just 5 minutes later, their premonition became true.

Another wave of mutated insects came.

……

At the same time, Bai Yinghui on another section of the city wall frowned, watching the mutant swarm attacking again.

"The attack frequency has indeed increased, and it has directly increased by three times. What do you say about the analysis results of your staff?" Bai Yinghui asked Jian Jian, the chief of staff at the side.

"After discussion by our staff, we believe that the sound of our guns has attracted the mutant swarm to a certain extent, and their speed of movement has accelerated."

"Originally we were only fighting the vanguard, but with the arrival of more and more mutated insects, it is very likely that it will directly evolve into a decisive battle." Simple said with a wry smile.

Bai Yinghui:? ? ?

He looked sharply at Jian Jian, the chief of staff, and said, "Your staff predicts that the swarm will launch a general attack on the third day after the war begins."

"It's only been a few hours now, and you told me that a decisive battle is coming? How did you predict it before? Are they all for nothing?"

After a short mumble, Jian Jian said, "This time our prediction did go wrong, and I am willing to take responsibility for this time..."

"Stop! Don't tell me those useless things." Bai Yinghui interrupted the other party's words with a wave of his hand, and said, "Tell me first. Faced with this situation, what suggestions do you have?"

"First, implement the beheading plan. We have locked in the mutated insect swarm, those relatively special mutated insects, they should be the commanders."

"Before the decisive battle, we can use the Reaper missiles to eliminate them in one go, which may cause chaos in the swarm. Of course, the swarm is different from humans, and it can be effective, but it is only a guess."

"Secondly, the military training plan is coming to an end ahead of schedule. I suggest that we directly use the methods we have prepared before. Before the mutated swarm attack, we should try our best to kill their vital forces and preserve our combat power." Simple said.

Bai Yinghui nodded after listening, he thought for a while and asked, "How are the casualties now?"

"Over the past 4 hours, the number of injured has reached 7236, of which 6404 were slightly injured and could return to the battlefield after bandaging, 832 were seriously injured and could not continue to fight, and 132 died in battle." Jian Jian replied immediately .

Bai Yinghui frowned slightly when he heard that, this number was much higher than their initial estimate.

The number of seriously injured and killed is as high as 964, which is close to 1000.

This was only 4 hours of fighting, and they were still facing the vanguard before. If they really faced the main force of the swarm, this number would probably increase several times.

And even though the 6404 lightly wounded can return to the battlefield after bandaging, it doesn't mean that their combat power can be restored immediately, and it's not bad if they can keep two-thirds.

Thinking of this, Bai Yinghui ordered: "Activate the metal storm on the city wall and distribute the new equipment we developed."

"Finally, let the bombardment team get ready, and if those mutated insects dare to gather in one place to attack, then they will blow me up hard."

Simple nodded immediately, and sent the order back to the staff for them to execute.

After a while, he asked: "Does the number of people defending the city wall need to be increased?"

Their military, plus the major security companies, as well as the combatants of the enterprises, the total number of them is as high as 6.

With so many people, it is naturally impossible to send all of them to defend the city wall. In fact, they have always maintained a manpower of around 3.

And the rest of them will take turns to rest. After all, in this kind of high-intensity battle, they are not steel, and rest is inevitable.

After thinking for a while, Bai Yinghui shook his head, "We will look at the casualties later, as long as it is within the acceptable range, then don't increase the manpower."

"After all, the vast majority of the troops are recruits, and some time needs to be left for them to adjust themselves."

With the issuance of new orders one after another, the trend of the next battle situation is also undergoing huge changes.

First of all, the shelling team entered the arena. Although the soldiers on the city wall had grenades before, how could the power of the grenades be comparable to the mortars.

Of course, more importantly, the efficiency of ammunition delivery.

After the mutated insects rushed through the flame zone, they were only 20 meters away from the city wall, so the window period left for them to bomb was only a dozen seconds.

In this case, the number of grenades that each person can throw is quite limited.

But if you switch to an artillery squad, it's different.

They have a specially modified artillery shell launcher, which can load hundreds of mortars at one time, and then launch them in one go.

Under such circumstances, let alone a few thousand mutated insects, even if the number doubled or tripled, they could be taken away in one wave.

So when the bombardment team entered the field, the mutated insect's previous tactic of breaking the surface by pointing it out went bankrupt.

They didn't even dare to do so at all. In a certain place, more than 1000 mutated insects gathered.

As these mutated insects re-dispersed to attack all over the city wall, the metal storm on the city wall was also activated.

The so-called metal storms are actually machine guns embedded in the wall.

When these machine guns were built on the city wall, they were installed in the foundation. After being activated, a small hole would be exposed under the city wall, which was the position of the muzzle, and then they would fire in a fan shape.

Since these machine guns are placed at the foundation of the city wall, the position of the muzzle is almost level with the ground.

Under such circumstances, as long as the mutated insects are concentrated to a certain extent, even if no one is aiming at them, they can directly shoot in a fan shape according to the set procedure, and there is a great probability of hitting those mutated insects.

And when the metal storm is activated, the effect is very significant.

The number of mutated insects killed by the metal storm was no less than that of the soldiers on the city wall.

The only problem is that the bullet consumes a bit more, which is more than 10 times that of soldiers.

Therefore, the metal storm will only be activated if the attack of the mutant swarm is violent enough.

As for the last arrangement, that is to replace the equipment for these soldiers.

There are two kinds of new equipment, the first one is the powerful shotgun.

The scariest thing about mutated insects lies in their numbers, but their defenses are mediocre, not even comparable to the first-order mutated animals.

So even if it is a shotgun that is not very powerful, as long as it hits, it can kill them instantly.

Moreover, this thing has basically no requirements for marksmanship. It is undoubtedly the most suitable for recruits. As long as it is aimed at a place with many mutated insects, it can kill at least a dozen of them with one shot.

With the shotgun, the efficiency of these soldiers on the city wall in killing mutated insects has increased by at least three times.

Shotguns are offensive weapons, and among the newly equipped weapons, defensive weapons are naturally indispensable.

That is the shield.

Yes, every defensive team got at least two huge shields.

Compared with other shields, this kind of shield has a big difference in shape. First of all, it is not vertical, but horizontal.

The width is 1.5 meters, but the height is only 1 meter, which is completely designed for mutated insects.

In addition, this kind of shield is quite light, because the inside is hollow, and the real defense is only the three millimeters thick steel plate on the front.

This design, on the one hand, is for flexibility and is very convenient to move, and the three millimeter thick steel plate can also block 99% of mutated insect attacks.

On the other hand, this hollow shield contains mystery inside, and it has a powerful discharge device.

As long as the switch is triggered, the surface of the shield can instantly release a high-voltage current, making this defensive shield also a powerful attack weapon.

As these backhands were activated one by one, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.

The soldiers on the city wall became more comfortable facing the mutated insect swarm again, and the number of casualties also dropped rapidly, at most only one-tenth of the previous one.

But even if the situation in front of them is very good, not many people are really excited, especially the high-level military.

Although their combat power has increased, so has the mutant swarm.

Almost every hour, the offensive strength of the mutated swarm increased by a level.

No one knows how long their advantage will last.

Time passed little by little, and finally one night passed.

When the time came to 6:[-] in the morning, a white belly had already risen in the distance.

As the morning sun shone, the soldiers on the wall did not survive the night of joy.

Because as the sunlight drives away the darkness, they can see farther, and the mountains and plains are full of mutated insects.

That terrifying amount will definitely make people suffer from intensive phobia.

And the huge swarm, like dark green sea water, was slowly but firmly approaching Yangcheng City.

That was an army of mutated insects.

Seeing the scene in front of him, let alone these ordinary soldiers, even Ye Feng felt his scalp tingling.

Such a large number of mutated insects, under normal circumstances, even if the Dragon King Palace came out in full force, it would be difficult to kill them, and it is more likely that they will be slowly consumed to death.

Ye Feng felt that this time he might really have to take action with his body to solve the problem.

While thinking about this, he looked at Bai Yinghui who was in the distance, but was a little surprised to find that the other party had a calm face.

"Hey! Could it be that the military is sure to deal with it?"
