Chapter 864: Chapter 864
"Bomb it with the strongest firepower," Xu Changtai suggested, fighting individually could only let the bugs be picked off one by one.
"Possible," Landeck agreed, there was no way around it, the shelter made of debris was essentially useless, not to mention the flying bugs, those Yak Beetles just rammed right into it, making the shelter wobble.
The Main Entrance that teleported the bugs did not disappear, with intertwined vines and intricate patterns on it, full of the breath of nature, but now it brought death.
Sara pulled out a Stinger Missile and fired at the Teleportation Gate, but several Beetles jumped in as Meat Shields, blocking it.
Boom, the Missile blasted the bugs into chunks, pitter-pattering as they fell onto the deck, only to be trampled and crushed by other Beetles in a flash.
"Bomb the Teleportation Gate with the war chariot," Huangfu Xiong released a Leopard 2A6 tank, jumped into it, and right after, the turret rumbled as it turned, aiming at the Teleportation Gate.
Boom, the 120mm smoothbore gun roared, the Cannon Shell grazed past the deck, carving a bloody trench through the swarm of insects, then shot into the Teleportation Gate, and exploded with a thunderous roar.
Landeck’s team also deployed a Leopard Tank, but the most eye-catching were the two Conqueror single-soldier war chariots, the Bullet Nest opened, Rocket shells volleyed, bombing the swarm of Beetles in a carpet-like fashion, clearing them out completely, but the Teleportation Gate was not destroyed, still spewing out bugs.
"All anti-air Weapons, take them all out, they’re going after the newbies," the man with glasses opened fire into the sky with a Heavy Magnetostorm Rifle, though his war results were impressive, the quantity and speed of the flying bugs were too much to handle, and there were always some that slipped through. They flew past the Conquerors’ heads, pursuing to kill the newbies.
"Send a few to look after the newbies," Xu Chantai’s command was really poor. Such ambiguous orders not only wasted time but also led Conquerors to play it safe; after all, it was only safe within the large team, no one wanted to leave and face the bugs alone.
Due to this delay, the fastest flying insect had already caught up with the last newbie, again that unfortunate female university student.
Xu Meng, who had six fingers chopped off, was staggering and on the brink of collapse due to blood loss and a lengthy trek. Her lips were cracked, her consciousness blurred, and after being terrified by the Punishment Squad, she completely broke down, fell to the deck after a few steps.
None of Xu Meng’s classmates stayed behind to lend a hand; they were all just looking out for their own escape.
"Heh," Xu Meng chuckled bitterly, trying to grab her Rifle to save herself, then she saw her hands lacking fingers, despair welled up, and she suddenly screamed desperately.
"Ah, why is it always me?"
The flying bug landed on Xu Meng, the suction tube like a long spear, stabbing towards her head.
Bang, an Incendiary Bullet shot over and blew up the flying bug’s head, Lu Fan didn’t lower his Rifle but aimed at the next flying bug. Of course, Little Lolita wouldn’t be saving Germans.
A treacherous Neo-Nazi cleverly darted next to a Jewish flight attendant while fleeing, pretending not to notice, he struck her ribs hard with his elbow. The flight attendant immediately felt winded, clutching her waist as she bent over, and another Neo-Nazi Youth purposely bumped into her as he ran past, causing the flight attendant to fall.
The flying bug swooped down.
"Don’t!" The flight attendant felt the weight on her body, screamed in terror, but the next moment she fell silent.
Sharp transparent chitin suction mouthparts penetrated the flight attendant’s head; one could even see the white Brain pulp and red blood flowing through the tube, sucked into its body.
The body of the flight attendant deflated like a deflated ball, visibly shriveling, the scene was extremely horrifying.
The Fleischer team did not consider lending a hand, worried it might attract the Punishment Squad.
"Yannick, Tares, go support the newbies," Landeck also couldn’t let newbies die, Xu Changtai finally made adjustments on his end, sending out North Wind and Sun Xueliang.
"Why not just block the Teleportation Gate and eradicate the bugs, such a simple tactic can’t you even think of that? And now someone has died." Lu Fan really looked down on these Conquerors; it was probably due to mutual wariness and holding back, wanting others to put in more effort.
"Anyway, it’s always the newbies who end up unlucky," Meiqin curled her lips in disdain, "This kind of Punishment Squad isn’t effective; there’s no threat."
Initially the bugs were attacking chaotically, but as a giant bug the size of a bulldozer appeared, they began to organize, with the flying bugs shooting Venom towards where the Conquerors gathered, intending to scatter them.
The tank fired, and with a thunderous roar, the cannon shell reached half a meter in front of the bug BOSS, only to be blocked by an invisible shield. You could see the shell compress under inertia, pressing against it, while the surrounding air vibrated in ripples.
Boom, the German shells were still blocked, gravity bombs, Thunderballs all ineffective, and now this Overlord Beetle began to unleash its power. It was like a land warship, crushing everything in its path, with its body vents spraying a vast amount of red gas, drifting towards the survivors with the sea breeze.
The bug opened its oral parts and a cluster of green light gathered, then, with a shake of its head, a beam of light shot out, hitting the deck and instantly melting it.
"This is more like it, not letting down the name of the Punishment Troops," Yao Feng gloated, pulling out a DV camera to record the battle scene below.
"It’s called the Overlord Beetle; the weak point is probably the green crystal on its head," Li Xinlan scanned the bug BOSS with her wristwatch, obtaining some basic data. The bug weighed a hundred tons and had an ultra-strong defense, capable of crushing any Newbie with its sheer physical strength.
Sara took out an Apache armed helicopter, flew into the sky, aimed at the Teleportation Gate, and let loose a volley of rocket shells, with the machine gun continuing to fire relentlessly, and the bullet casings falling, causing a storm of blood and gore among the bugs.
In a moment, exploded flesh and blood painted the deck into a marsh of red mud as the fresh blood was too quick to disperse, gathering on the deck, forming a thin mist.
Some flying bugs launched a death charge at the Apache, aiming to knock it out of the sky. Sara’s piloting skills were impressive; she deftly maneuvered through the air, continuing to shoot them down, but her weapons were too few, and within a minute, she had exhausted all her ammunition.
The battle continued for over three minutes, ending in a standoff. If it weren’t for the overwhelming power of the Overlord Beetle and the Conquerors wary of one another, the battle would have already ended.
The Conquerors did not know that this was just an appetizer, otherwise, they would not have erected another Teleportation Gate.
The soldiers were temporarily safe, and the Company Commander was relieved, but soon everyone sensed something was wrong.
"Something’s off; why are those bugs flying over here?" Chen Hong screamed in alarm, nervously raising her rifle.
"Just passing by," Sha Ou didn’t think they would be attacked, but as the bugs got closer, he wasn’t so sure anymore and aimed his rifle.
"It’s definitely because you fired that gun and drew them over," the German stewardess and the old man cried out, blaming Lu Fan. Get full chapters from novel·fiɾe·net
"It was Yang Wei," Pang Meiqin suddenly spotted Yang Wei hiding in a corner of the bridge. This woman wasn’t part of their team.
With a whoosh, the Germans cleared a path and began to evacuate the bridge.
"Please, don’t abandon me," Yang Wei pleaded in tears, but the bugs had already hit the glass.
"Fire!" Tang Zheng countered; they couldn’t just toss Yang Wei out. This time, the soldiers didn’t hesitate and showered the flying bugs with ammunition.
"Hurry up and leave; don’t stay here any longer; here comes another bunch." Seeing another wave of bugs emerging from the Teleportation Gate and flying towards them, Chen Hong grew furious, grabbed Yang Wei by the arm, and was about to throw her down.
"Don’t!" Yang Wei clung to a control lever, biting her head frantically, crying bitterly.
"Forget it, let her stay," Li Xinlan couldn’t bear it—it was just some trash bugs that posed no threat.
The wife guessed wrong; this time, what flew out were self-destructive flying bugs that would explode upon being hit by a bullet. Suddenly, they died in mid-air, their flesh raining down like hail, whooshing down onto the deck.
The second casualty appeared; it was a German from their team with a broken leg. Landeck and his group intentionally ignored him, allowing a beetle to crawl up to him.
The beetle’s sickle-shaped forelimbs stabbed into the German’s body, jerked downward, and then slammed him hard onto the deck.
