Alien Paradise.

Chapter 445 Fall
……

Outside the city of XM, outside the air force base.

This place has become a heavily guarded war front. Several layers of barbed wire have been set up on the gravel road from the highway to the base wall. Soldiers with live ammunition are leaning behind sand fortifications, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

The dawn sun had just risen, and fortunately it was a cloudless day. With the help of the golden morning light, the view could cover the entire desert.

"Yawn..." Tyfree rubbed his dry eyes and looked at his squad leader Harry listlessly, "Sir, who are we fighting?"

Their team was woken up from their sleep late last night.

Unlike previous assault training, they did not receive any mission notifications, and just picked up their guns and entered the air force base without knowing what was going on. They first stayed at the airport for a few hours, and then were transferred to the outskirts west of the base, where they were directly squatted in the sand fortification position.

As the Marines responsible for defending the base, their status was undoubtedly the lowest. It was common for them to be ordered around, but at least there had to be a reason, right? In fact, up to now, Taifuri had only heard one order, "Destroy all suspicious moving targets, this is not an exercise." As for why this target was suspicious, the superior officer did not give any explanation.

He also discovered something strange, that is, only their group of cowherds were in action, but the Air Force was extremely peaceful. Not only did the airport not launch a single plane, but even the sound of a hot engine could not be heard.

If this wasn't an exercise and the situation didn't require the deployment of the air force, then that meant the enemy was pretty weak? So weak that they could be easily dispatched with just a few dozen rifles.

"Maybe a civil war has broken out." Another soldier, George, said while chewing gum. "Isn't there a movie that was released recently? Maybe reality will come true, and our great president will decide to take up arms to fight against the injustice of the rule of law."

"Shut the fuck up," Captain Harry cursed. "Look at what's behind us? They're all cannons. They're not army cannons, but real naval cannons! Have you ever seen naval cannons deployed in an air force wing base? So many were deployed in one night. I haven't seen such powerful logistics in a long time. To be able to keep those lazy guys busy all night, I can only say that the higher-ups have given a death order!"

"Fuck, it's true!" George turned his head and squinted for a while and said in surprise, "Where did they move from?"

Only then did Tevry realize that the piles of black shadows they were guarding at night were actually various types of naval guns. In order to accommodate their huge ammunition supply mechanisms, temporary square steel frames were built underneath. In addition to naval guns, he also saw several multi-barreled close-in defense guns used on warships. This thing is generally only used for air defense - it's not that it can't hit people, but it's too cruel to hit people. If someone took a picture of it, it would definitely become a hot search on the entire Internet.

"Who knows, maybe it's inventory, maybe it's taken from a warship." The captain shrugged, "But we can't use this thing against civilians. Our enemy is definitely extraordinary."

"Then why not join the Air Force? We have F22s stationed here."

"That's why I said it's extraordinary. You can't use an airplane to shoot birds, right?"

At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded in the base!
"The enemy is coming!"

Harry shouted and pulled the bolt safety.

Taifuri's sleepiness was gone, and he turned on the safety and looked ahead at the sand fort. He saw nothing but an empty field, with no signs of anything unusual.

"Guys, look up at the sky!" a soldier suddenly shouted.

Heaven?

Tevry raised his telescope and looked toward the western sky. This time he found his target, which looked like a few strange-looking iron birds, with a square box-like body and flapping wings on both sides. They flew very slowly, estimated to be about 4 to 50 kilometers per hour.

Before they could come to their senses, the cannons in the rear suddenly opened fire!

Only a few rapid roars were heard, and brilliant fireworks instantly exploded in the sky five or six kilometers away.

It's a standard programmed near bomb!
When the smoke cleared, Taveri raised his scope again and found that the target had disappeared without a trace. "That's it?" George whistled, "Using a naval gun to fight a palm-sized thing, isn't this a waste of taxpayers' money?"

"Don't relax, there's movement on the ground!" Harry warned.

I saw several crawling mechanical bodies appearing on the horizon. They used the rugged gravel as cover, as if someone was controlling them.

"So today's actual combat is target practice?"

A soldier's sharp comment caused everyone to laugh.

Taveri waited until they were close before firing, which was about 300 meters. Although these little creatures were quite agile, they still couldn't hold on to the front line under the sniper fire from multiple sources.

Then the anti-aircraft artillery fired again, destroying the second wave of invaders in the sky several kilometers away.

After a few rounds of this, everyone had completely relaxed, and even the captain lit a cigarette.

However, a question also formed in Taifuri's mind - why do we need to use naval guns to defend against enemies in the air, while they rely on rifles to attack enemies on the ground? Can't we arrange a few infantry fighting vehicles to deal with the enemy? The latter has a long range and strong firepower. It can shoot more than a thousand meters away, which is much better than the small water gun in hand.

And speaking of which, who produced these strangely shaped machines? Why did the 49th Regiment Base have to treat them as enemies? Could it be... that they were being dismantled?

By noon, there had been seven or eight similar "attacks".

In addition to iron birds and iron spiders, drones, remote control toy racing cars and balance cars have also become "invading enemies."

Such a strange phenomenon naturally caused heated discussions among the soldiers, but after discussing it over and over again, they could not come to a conclusion - such things were common for low-level soldiers, and as long as their superiors kept their mouths shut, they would never know the truth of the incident.

When the sun reached its zenith, Taifuri suddenly heard a series of deep roars coming from behind him.

He looked back and suddenly got goose bumps on his arms.

Several jet-black transport planes appeared in the east and rushed towards the base at an alarming speed. Their paint was very bright, and it was obvious that they were their own C-5 Galaxy transport planes, which were also the largest military transport planes in service. Even though they were more than ten kilometers away, their huge wings were clearly visible.

It was not unusual for the air force base to have frequent takeoffs and landings, and they were also used to using transport planes to resupply supplies, but the postures of these planes were abnormal at first glance - their dive angles were too steep! Diving at this speed could easily cause the fuselage to disintegrate, and even if it didn't disintegrate, this pitch angle would definitely not be used for landing.

Thinking of those drones that were like moths to a flame, Taifree suddenly felt a boundless fear in his heart.

The people at the base had apparently also noticed this situation, and several artillery pieces began to turn around, with their muzzles raised high - but this time, they fired far less resolutely than before.

After seemingly hesitating for dozens of seconds, the ship's guns finally started firing. However, the C-5 was not like those toys. It could not be evaporated by the shells. Even if the 127mm warhead could tear the wings and fuselage of the aircraft, its shattered body was still equivalent to a meteorite that was coming with unabated force. And there were more than one such meteorites!
In full view of the frontline soldiers, the plane dragged countless broken parts and crashed into the base's airport in a blaze of flames. A large amount of cargo also jumped out of it and scattered everywhere. When the "cargo" stood up, Tevery found that they were all mechanical dogs.

Mechanical dog?
How much trouble could these military toys, which were not even equipped with weapons, cause them? It was impossible for people to be killed by these things!
Watching those mechanical dogs that were still able to move flee in all directions, Captain Harry suddenly murmured, "Oh my God..."

Taifuri followed his gaze and found that the two close-in defense guns in the distance had lowered their muzzles at some point and turned towards the front line.

"Damn it, no way..."

Before he could finish his words, a series of fierce shots tore through the sand fortress beside him and penetrated his body completely!
