Chapter 274 Sharp turn down
What's this?What is this?What on earth is this xx?
Xiure felt that these three issues were what he considered the most today.

Perhaps the information transmission in this world is so convenient and can be retrieved from the control center of the main base at any time, so Wei's memory bank does not have detailed information about the insect swarm. This has led to the mercenaries being obsessed with all novel things. Can only rely on guesswork.The role of the nest building?I don’t know, guess, how insects attack?I don't know, guess.

Just like the new nest buildings that appeared in front of the convoy.

Seen from a distance, it looks like a giant flower sticking to the ground. Four fleshy petals are spread out on the ground, and a few horny thorns stand like stamens in the center of the flower. Except for the occasional wriggling of the petals, it looks like There doesn't seem to be anything special about it.

However, the heavy-duty truck clearly told everyone with the explosion that this thing is very special.

Whenever the petals squirm, the horny stamens will shrink, and at the same time, there will be a spiral horny spike protruding from the ground, with extremely strong penetrating power, it can penetrate the reinforced chassis of the truck with one blow, and then pass through the roof. Going out, I'm afraid even a tank won't be able to withstand it a few times.

This is how the truck that Shuer stepped on exploded. His position was neither the first nor the last. The fact that his truck was selected shows that this thing is completely different from the five-clawed spider. This thing can be chosen at will. The target does not automatically attack as soon as it enters the enemy detection range.

There is no doubt that this must be a defensive nest of insects, just like the forts of the soul clan and the guns on the human fortress.

This is very troublesome. It is impossible to judge how far its attack range is, and it is impossible to use unmanned tanks to confuse the enemy in exchange for time. More importantly, there is not just one thing, but a pile of it, hundreds of meters away. Every 30 meters, a flower emerges from the ground, and one stretches to the end of the field of vision.Looking at the video sent back by Wei, the giant flowers have been extending for dozens of kilometers at high density, forming an arc around the worm's nest, like a city wall, cutting off the passage of the convoy.

Not only that, there were many scattered spots in the arc, and with the bugs chasing after them, the team could no longer break through as hard as before. The remaining three kilometers would probably be extremely difficult.

"It fell out like me." When the truck exploded, Xiuer jumped out of the truck in time, and did not roll over the ground like the others. Among the crowd who got up.

"Be careful." As soon as he stood still, Xiuer felt an obvious vibration under his feet. His expression changed, and he grabbed the two people next to him and moved a few steps sideways, "Try to keep moving."

"Ah~~~" There was another scream. A mercenary was penetrated by spikes from his lower body to the top of his head. Before he even realized what happened, he was already pierced on the horny spikes like a meat skewer. , completely lost its vitality.

"Everyone, abandon the car." At this time, Xiuer was quite indifferent, indifferent to the death of the mercenary, and even a little happy, because the death of the mercenary allowed him to master some of the attack characteristics of the giant flower, "Concentrate on me , disperse the formation, Wei, pull the tank back."

After only a few seconds, the convoy had already driven dozens of meters away. After hearing Shuer's order, the high-level mercenaries were the first to jump out of the tank.The passengers on the surviving truck reacted much slower. After all, they had never experienced combat. Even with the urging of the surrounding mercenaries, their movements were still slow, so the explosion came again.

The horny spikes pierced the front of the second truck, but fortunately the people in the truck jumped out in time and did not make the same mistake as the first truck. However, without the protection of the vehicle, several ordinary people among the passengers behaved He was bewildered and could only run back in confusion surrounded by the mercenaries.

"Blood and minced meat, yes, that's it."

Both trucks were destroyed, and the protected ordinary people lost their last cover and means of transportation, and could only move forward on their legs. However, Shuer smiled and even his voice became excited.

"Run, move back and forth, never stay in the same position, Mia, Militi, you two temporarily block the bugs behind, Moria, Yuli, you two are responsible for both sides, Friesen, there are You deal with the bugs that come in as soon as possible. Mercenaries, it's your turn, spread out a little, pick up your weapons, and help Moria and Yuli guard the sides. Those who have no fighting ability, support the injured in the protective circle. Spread out a little, and remember to move at all times. If you stop, you will be dead. If there are insects coming, don't wait to die stupidly. The weapons in your hands are prepared for this time. Remember to shoot, and you will fight even if you die. The insects perish together.”

"The tank is pulling back? Okay, Wei, the tank will focus its fire and blow away the flower directly in front. Don't worry, its attack frequency is very slow, and at our position, only one can attack us, and we will lose the most. A tank can be destroyed even if you fight hard. Others hold their positions, Dak, Saff, the bugs coming from the front will be left to you two. I will provide support in the middle, and the injured will immediately warn you. The Lord will take care of you. .”

Yes, Shuer has determined it. The attack range of the nearest giant flower that has just entered is not far away. It has not yet overlapped with the attack range of other giant flowers. Because when the mercenary was stabbed to death, Shuer had already noticed the horny tip. There was a little bit of burnt black on the thorns, and the marks were still very new. They should have been left when the truck exploded.Then when the second truck was attacked, the charred spikes protruding from the ground were covered with a layer of blood and a few pieces of meat hung on them. In other words, these attacks were all made by a spike. Initiated by thorns.This is the best news. As long as it is not set on fire by seven or eight giant flowers around it, there is still a chance to break through.

"Give me a good positional battle." Keeping moving left and right, Xiuer raised his hand and released a pure light, which has little effect, but it can calm the spirits of most people, "Buy time for the tank."

Another piercing attack. Among the three surviving tanks, the chassis armor of one was pierced. Fortunately, it did not hit any important parts and could still barely function, but I am afraid it would be difficult to withstand it again.

Fortunately, the other two tanks had already adjusted the direction of the turret. With the loud noise of the earth shaking, a mushroom cloud rose from the position of the giant flower. The smoke dissipated, and you could see that although the giant flower had not been destroyed, it Green blood gushes out from various positions on the petals. It seems that it has been severely injured and is already on the verge of collapse.

"Boom", the damaged tank was hit for the second time and turned into a cloud of gunpowder smoke until it exploded, and there was no time to add another shot to the giant flower.But it didn't matter anymore, as soon as the gunpowder smoke dissipated, a throwing gun had already passed through hundreds of meters of space like lightning, piercing deeply into the heart of the giant flower.As if struck by lightning, the giant flower trembled violently, and a large amount of green mucus spewed out from the center of the flower. After struggling for a few seconds, the petals and stamens collapsed and lay motionless on the ground.

"Hey, it's true that this is a sensitive area. Once it's attacked, it will cum..."

"The first step is successful, everyone can stop and stand still." Shuer decisively interrupted Lin Jing's explosive remarks during his busy schedule, "Wei, good job (eh? What about me), taking advantage of the range , clear away the giant flowers on the left and right sides, and the others can hold on for a few more minutes. When you first got here, you held on for more than an hour, but now you only have a few minutes, no problem."

In fact, it's completely different. At that time, the world only had the bottom-level ground worms. Ordinary mercenaries could hold on for a long time, but now there are more than a dozen kinds of worms in the sky and underground. Melee and long-range, three-dimensional attacks make it difficult for mercenaries to parry. , even with the support of high-level mercenaries, and only guarding one side, it is quite difficult.

What's more, there are super long-range strikes.

"No, I missed it." Shuer's face changed drastically. The battle was so intense that he didn't notice that the map showed that several more flying crabs were floating in the sky more than 2000 meters away. When he discovered this At one o'clock, the crabs were already within 500 meters, "Moria, shoot them down, Friesen, let's take up Moria's place together."

While commanding, Shuuer rushed to Moria and Yuri, wielding a hammer and fighting the insects at close range. He kept praying in his heart, praying for the blessing of the dark moon, so that Moria's arrows could catch up in time.

Unfortunately, this prayer did not take effect. Lin Jing's arrow accurately hit the crab in the distance. The dozen or so light spots representing the crab disappeared on the map almost at the same time. Unfortunately, the crabs' ultra-long-range attack It's already in front of me.

The light balls compressed into high-concentration energy accurately hit the last two tanks. The thick armor of the tanks had no effect on the energy balls, and the light balls quickly sank into the cabin.Immediately, the energy exploded, and the violent energy directly detonated the energy tank and ammunition compartment of the tank from the inside. The high pressure and flames tore apart the turret, turning the two tanks into two blazing flames.

Everyone felt a little confused. The change came too fast. It was going smoothly 2 minutes ago, and it seemed that victory could be touched. Unexpectedly, within 2 minutes, everything took a turn for the worse. Not only did the vehicle that represented speed lose first, but now even The last three tanks were gone, and they could only use their flesh and blood to survive in the swarm of insects, and all because of a small oversight.

One wrong step, one wrong step, just not expecting the existence of the giant flower, which led to a series of chain reactions. Facing one thing and the other, they could only watch the last war weapon being destroyed, without even having time to stop it.

"The Lord said, I will guard this place. Anyone with malicious intentions should retreat immediately." Shuer's hammer hit the ground, and a ball of sacred energy burst out from his body. All the surrounding insects that took the opportunity to break into the defense circle were bounced away. , although it has no lethality, the defensive effect is quite good. "What are you doing in a daze? It's only less than three kilometers. Can't you walk across it with your legs? Continue to execute the order, Saff, watch your back."

"Ah~~~" There was a scream, but it was not from Safu. The female swordsman with excellent hearing had long heard that there was an enemy behind her, and moved a few steps sideways in time to get rid of the bugs' sneak attack.But a craftsman not far behind her was not so lucky. The insects that failed to attack him knocked him to the ground. Several of them exerted their strength at the same time and easily tore the craftsman into several pieces.

Thick blood and warm internal organs sprayed out. As soon as Saff turned around, he saw blood splattered all over the ground in front of him.
